Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Prugnolo Gentile Blend

Sweet with a bitter after taste. Bitter fruity taste

Robust

Good hint of spice and smoke.

Amazing aroma of dried and fresh cherries, leather, coffee and just rolled together so elegantly yet very expressive. Rich flavors but a driving acidity, very good with red pasta sauce but would be on even another level with sausages or steak

Oaky, red fruits.

Decanted for 2 hours. Extreme tannins before decant, great balance structure wise after the decant. Not usually a fan of Italian wines due to being over tart. But really enjoying the subdued tartness on this one. On the nose: tart cherry, herbs, graphite minerality. On the tongue: tart cherry, strawberry, graphite, herbs, hint of black fruit. Acidity is high! Super enjoyable with a simple red pasta dish.

Flowers in the aroma. Then complex blend of vanilla, oak, rosemary, almonds, and cherries, followed by a bright, tight and somewhat silky finish.

Pretty decent modern style Montepulciano.

3.5. Delicious Italian red. Complex deep red fruits, minerals and tannins with a wonderful taste and aftertaste. Regularly $29.99.
