Crushed stone and earthy minerals blow off to reveal sugar-dusted red currant and a hint of spiced orange, as the deeply seductive 2018 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano opens in the glass. This is soothingly soft yet energetic with a spicy citrus tension. Red and black berries linger, along with sweet tannins, as this tapers off fresh and lifted. The 2018 may not be the longest-lived Vino Nobile from Sanguineto, but it will make a lot of people happy over the medium term. (Eric Guido, Vinous, December 2021)
