Shipped back from the winery in the town square of Montepulciano. Very ripe and plush and ready to drink now.

Just returned from a week in Montepulciano.
While the ancient town’s signature “Nobile” wine isn’t as well regarded as neighbor Montalcino’s famous Brunello, this wine held up big time. Drank like some of the Chianti Classicos I’ve enjoyed from the area some 50 miles north — dry with big flavor, salt, crisp tannins — probably my favorite rosso from our week in Italy.

Purchased at the winery and a great example of a vino nobile. Bright and full of acid, so a perfect compliment to food.

Brought this back directly from Montepulciano 4 years ago. Finally decided to open a bottle. FABULOUS! 2010 vintage. Smooth, light, crisp. One of my favorite wines.

A couple years ago this was my favorite pick from Contucci. My tastes may have changed. Although it has good acidity, it tastes a little too ripe for my preference, and to little tannin remains. Still a solid wine.
