2020 Cantine DEI Vino Nobile di Montepulciano 92 Points
Italy, Tuscany, Montepulciano, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano
Retail $30. 90% Sangiovese, 10% Canaiolo Nero. Lighter in color with a bit of bricking on the rim. Quite shy on the nose with a bit of tobacco smoke and dried red fruit. Well-balanced on the palate with noticeable but appropriate oak. Yeah, dried fruit a go-go here. Excellent. 92 Points.

2019 Le Bèrne Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva 93 Points
Italy, Tuscany, Montepulciano, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano
Retail $35. 97% Sangiovese, 3% Colorino. Dark and viscous in the glass with black fruit and black pepper dominant. An herbal note on the verge of medicinal. Mint? Rich and fruity on the palate, this really delivers on several levels. Another wine with some healthy tannic structure. Quite nice. Outstanding. 93 Points.

Italy, Tuscany, Montepulciano, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano
Retail $65. 100% Sangiovese. 5,600 bottles produced. Perhaps the darkest thus far in both color and aromas with dark ripe fruit, and intense herbal notes (basil, mint). Smoky and minty. Bigger, fruitier and rounder with also the most intense tannins thus far in the tasting. A bit disjointed. Not a fan but it has its place. Excellent. 90 Points.

Italy, Tuscany, Montepulciano, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano
Retail $39. 70% Sangiovese, 30% Canaiolo "and other authorized grape varietals [sic]." 150,000 bottles produced. Quite dark in color but still translucent. Meaty and minty with dark fruit on the palate. Solid and tasty but it pales compared to the previous two. Excellent. 90 Points.

2016 Podere Casanova Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Settecento 89 Points

Retail $39. 100% Sangiovese. Medium to dark in color. This is the first with some rhubarb on the nose. Plenty of mint as well with a hint of spice. Rich and big. Really New World in style on the palate, quite chewy and woody. Does not really fit here with the rest of this tasting. Very Good. 89 Points.

2020 Marchesi de' Frescobaldi Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Tenuta Calimaia 89 Points
Italy, Tuscany, Montepulciano, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano
Retail $40. "90% Sangiovese, 10% complimentary varieties." While still translucent (barely), this is considerably darker in color, a rich ruby with a meaty, salty nose. This is a bit austere on the palate, searching for the fruit and also noticeable tannins on the finish. Very Good. 89 Points.
