The 2020 of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano vintage was simply as complicated as its time: late frosts, humid spring, summer with peaks of extreme heat and hail, with a rainy season finale. But stubbornness and experience, together with nature's magic, have brought us wines that are nevertheless profound and round, although turned to the subtle side of wine.
Vino Nobile is a robust wine which is best appreciated with red meat, grills, stews and game. Excellent with Pienza pecorino cheese and all hard cheeses, it also goes well with vegetarian dishes including eggplant or radicchio. The bottle should be opened a couple of hours before drinking.

The nose is defined by a delicate sweetness, as undertones of clove and orange peel bring nuance to leading aromas of vanilla and strawberry, followed by a crack of black pepper. On the palate, fruit leads the way, but a hint of that bitter, spicy element perseveres all the way through the warm, acidic finish.

The 2020 Nobile di Montepulciano opens with a classic blend of dusty black cherries, cedar shavings, worn leather and sour citrus hints. This is soft textured yet cool-toned in feel, with zesty red fruits and cedary spice guided by vibrant acidity. It tapers off long and lightly structured, leaving a bitter tinge to linger as violet inner florals fade.
