This wine represents a pure expression of Sangiovese. The 2013 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Il Nocio is a broad and compelling red wine with an interesting sense of volume and length. The wine's mouthfeel is like an hourglass, with a moment of largeness followed by a pause and then more volume once again on the close. Aromas include dried cherry fruit, blackberry and moist earth.

Offering a beam of pure cherry, currant and iron flavors, this red hits all the right notes and has the backbone to develop. Tightly wound now, but decanting or a few years in the cellar will help this relax. Earth and tobacco elements gird the finish. Best from 2020 through 2033. 400 cases made, 50 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Select to Add
