Decanter, 93 Points 

"Earthy rather than fruity in aroma, this sports a striking nose of herbs, green tobacco and iron. It’s loaded with vigorous yet polished tannins, subtle mineral nuances and offers plenty of mature cherry and plum to pad it out. A full, powerful style that has not only found its balance but is also a skillful interpretation of terroir and vintage." 

James Suckling, 93 Points 

"Extremely perfumed and fresh with an elegant and attractive nose. Medium-bodied with ultra-fine, delicate tannins and a delicious finish. So delicious." 

Wine Spectator, 93 Points  

"A smooth red, with cherry, plum and spice flavors shaded by savory underbrush and wild herb accents. Shows iron and tobacco details on then long finish, with fine balance and grip overall. Prugnolo Gentile and Canaiolo. Best from 2024 through 2040." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"The Vino Nobile di Montepulciano has a brilliant ruby red colour, with garnet tinges as it ages. It has an intense bouquet with aromas of ripe cherries, plums and violets. It represents the perfect combination of structure and elegance: its full body and velvety tannins are balanced by its fine acidity. The wine is decidedly persistent and harmonious." 

Alcohol: 14.5%
