Surprisingly good Nobili di Montepulciano (Tuscan Sangiovese) from the exceptional vintage 2010. Deep garnet color. Beautiful developed bouquet. Cherry, raspberry, figs, "clay pot" and balsamic. On palate ripe black and red fruits paired with an excellent acidity. Med+ soft fine grained tannins and medium alcohol. Perfect balance. Very pleasant mouthfeel. Medium body. Length of finish definitely approved. Besides the black and red berries some oak flavors too. Had with lasagne. Excellent match. Yummy.

Beautiful and VGV. Quite reticent on the nose, only medium bodied but great aged sangiovese. Very pure and clean. Good silky tannins, could take further aging but in a good place now. 17

Really liked this. Aged perfectly. Very garnet. Nose of dried cherry, plum, earthy notes. Tannins still needed time but were okay and didn’t need to have food. Very good especially for $30.

Nice Nobile. Fruit foward but earthy boquet. Great with antipasto.

Full bodied but soft tannins. Slight alcohol bite to it. Very good with fatty foods. Great with aged pecorino. Good antipasto wine.
