Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Sangiovese

The 2019 Nobile di Montepulciano is a pleasure on the nose. Sweet spice complements raspberry and cherry aromas. Juicy acidity balances silky textures as rose-tinged red berries cascade across the palate. There’s a gentle coating of fine tannins and lovely energy as hard red candy hints fade. $25.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, November 2023)

Vintage 2015 ~ very light colour, hints of tobacco, cacao, flint, very elegant

Promising touch of brick in the wine's colour. Meaty, smoked almond and anise-spiced cherry aromas. Some tannic grip but pleasingly subtle in the mouth , the cherry is there and good length but all well balanced.

A very approachable Vin Nobile from a great vintage: layers of dark fruits, forest floor, a menthol edge; medium plus acidity & solidly medium bodied. For 20$ quite a deal, though I imagine a few years more might add some complexity.

Rich and well balanced with clay notes.

This is a terrific noble wine showing sweet red cherries, integrated oak and vanilla spice, tobacco and black licorice.

Drinking very well, focused, supple and quite dry. Dried cherry, licorice, mint, forest floor notes with the tannins still providing traction and a nice wave of acidity to finish. Seemingly at peak. Great with pizza.

Цвет вишнёвый, зрелый. В аромате варенье из чёрных ягод и слив, морённое дерево, мокко. Пряно (сушенный тимьян, розмарин), сладковато, с щедрой порцией дуба и лёгкими тонами окисления. Среднетелое, во вкусе сушенные чёрные ягоды с сахаром, лавр, грубая кожа, глина. Сушащие танины, средний уровень кислотности. Долгое тёплое послевкусие с лёгкой горчинкой. Большое, начинающее идти на спад вино. 16,5/20

Agree with all the comments....drinks above it's price-point, fruit forward with a solid backbone of oak. Inline tannins. My only complaint would be that I personally prefer a truer old world style for Vino Nobile. Particularly from such a rooted producer.
