Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Sangiovese
Montepulciano, Siena, Tuscany, Italy
One of the first wines I tasted on recent Tuscany visit celebrating @Steven Perlman. I remember it being soft, open, and refreshingly unadorned stylistically, a very nice vino nobile for current quaffing

On opening - this thing is pretty tight. Not much fruit, loads of cedar, tobacco, graphite and black pepper. Some raspberry and plum starting to develop. Finish is big pepper spice. Would be great with an arrabiata dish!

Жарко, ваниль, алкоголь, сладкие пряности. Во вкусе чуть сырно-кефирно, чай, черешня, черемуха. Вполне неплохо.

A relaxed meal before Thanksgiving kicks off in earnest. Marcella hazan’s simple tomato sauce with butter and onions over some good tagliatelle, some broccoli raab, and sausage. Perfect pairing. Gave it a 1.5 hour decant which was the right call. Definitely a bit of “rustic” tannins but the fruit is quite open and giving and the finish is pure with good acid. At $27, quite a good value.

Nov 26th, 2025Had a bottle at Rosso Rubino in Montepulciano!!! This was excellent!!! Especially considering it’s not a Riserva. Aromas of dark cherry, tobacco, and earth. Very smooth with a long finish. Highly recommend Rubino Rosso for dinner. We ate there twice during our stay and both experiences were perfect.

May 16th, 2024A bit tight and not enough complexity but overall a nice bottle of wine.
