The 2021 Nobile di Montepulciano is a classy effort, dusty and floral with a bouquet of dried flowers, stone dust, cedary spices and black cherries. Silky in texture yet lifted in feel, it splashes across the palate with ripe wild berry fruits embellished by hints of lavender over a core of brilliant acidity. This tapers off classically dry and crisp, leaving a web of fine tannins and a pleasantly bitter tinge that lingers on.

The nose is defined by the sweet tanginess of mocha, blood orange, raspberry, fresh herbs and top soil. The berry and earth notes carry the palate, until a dark-chocolate finish that's structured by chalky, textured tannins and enlivened by acid.

Rich and dense, this red displays black cherry, blackberry and blueberry flavors accented by earth and iron. It's all backed by vibrant acidity and beefy tannins, staying fresh and long on the finish. Sangiovese, Colorino, Canaiolo and Merlot. Drink now through 2033. 11,200 cases made, 3,000 cases imported.
