Nobile di Montepulciano: the prince of Tuscan reds
The Nobile di Montepulciano is a wine that tells the story and tradition of Tuscany, an oenological gem that has won over wine lovers from all over the world. This noble nectar has its roots in the historic town of Montepulciano, a place where viticulture is an art passed down from generation to generation. Its first mention dates back to the 17th century, but it was in 1980 that the Nobile di Montepulciano obtained the prestigious Denomination of Controlled and Guaranteed Origin (DOCG), confirming itself as one of the excellences of the Italian wine scene.
Produced mainly with Sangiovese grapes, locally known as Prugnolo Gentile, this wine is enriched with small percentages of complementary varieties such as Canaiolo Nero and other native grapes. The hills of Montepulciano, with their unique microclimate and mineral-rich soils, offer the ideal environment for the growth of these grapes, which are harvested with care and skill. Fermentation and aging take place in oak barrels, a process that can last up to two years, during which the wine develops its distinctive character.
The organoleptic profile of Nobile di Montepulciano is a symphony of aromas and flavors. On the nose, it opens with intense notes of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and plums, enriched by hints of sweet spices, vanilla, and tobacco, deriving from the aging in wood. On the palate, this wine presents itself with a full body and an elegant structure, supported by velvety tannins and a pleasant acidity that enhances its freshness. The taste persistence is long and enveloping, leaving an aftertaste that invites another sip.
This wine is the perfect accompaniment to traditional Tuscan dishes, such as Florentine steak, game, and aged cheeses. Each bottle is an invitation to explore the rich food and wine culture of Tuscany, offering a sensory experience that goes beyond mere palate pleasure.
