Canneto
Riserva Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Sangiovese
Dark but transparent red purple. Abundant nose of black cherry and graphite. Medium full palate of black cherry, anise, and black cranberry. Firm (medium plus) tannins that soften a bit with air wrapping up medium acidity through the moderate finish. A nicely complex expression of Nobile. Ready for top southern Italian fare or just upgrade more pedestrians fare. Drink now or hold until 2027.

Feb 3rd, 2018Earth, dried flowers and gun oil on the nose. Roses, leather and dried cherries in the mouth. Good acid, moderate tannins, medium-long finish. Well priced and correct for the region. Needs 3-5 more years for secondary characteristics to show.
