Aged in small oak barrel, this bright Vino Nobile offers austere but polished tannins with good balance between its dark spice and cherry aromas. Pair it with mushroom risotto or stewed veal.

Rosso di Montepulciano is a simple, food-friendly wine by design and this expression from Tenuta Valdipiatta does its best to uphold that tradition. Small percentages of Canaiolo Nero and Mammolo are added to Sangiovese for extra freshness and fruitiness.

From the excellent 2004 vintage, this dark Vino Nobile (aged 18 months in oak barrel) shows quality fruit aromas of blackberry, cherry and cassis. But it also boasts tertiary aromas of tar, black stone and licorice as well as oak-driven aromas of spice and cigar.

Oak notes of toast, cigar box, cedar and smoke take center stage and leave the fruity tones on the far perimeter. The wine delivers a dark, brooding character with bright acidity and zesty, citrus flavors that work well with the wine’s natural acidity. Founded in 1973, this estate has an Etruscan-inspired cellar carved deep into the side of a hill.

A bit rusty in tint, with lean, dry aromas of leather and leaves. That same earthy, slightly dried-out character is noticeable on the palate as well, where tomato, cherry and smoke are the dominant flavors. Fades fast on the finish, with a hint of buttery oak. Imported by Premium Brands.

Straightforward and a touch sharp, with cherry, earth and leather aromas. Red plum, pie cherry and vanilla flavors carry the palate toward a peppery, lean finish. Fresh enough but not very loving.

This vineyard-select is denser and richer than the estate’s base Vino Nobile. The extraction and thickness is more noticeable here and the wine tastes chewy and juicy in the mouth with flavors that recall ripe cherry, wet earth and exotic spice. It is aged in barrique for 18 months.

This refreshing Rosso di Montepulciano strikes a good balance between fresh fruit and oak-driven spice. Neither is too strong or dominant over the other. It’s a simple, easy-drinking wine with bright tones of cherry and vanilla backed by zesty acidity.

The wine aged 12 months in barrique and 12 months in oak casks to shape a succulent, spice-driven Vino Nobile. You’ll recognize tones of black currant, clove, vanilla, white mushroom, smoke and cured meat. The mouthfeel is smooth and elegant with solid tannins.
