Sour cherry and wild strawberry aromas combine with cedar shavings, clove and rosemary as the 2021 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano blossoms in the glass. This is elegant and silken in feel with ripe wild berry fruit tones complicated by tactile minerals and savory spices. A bump of brisk acidity adds energy throughout. The 2021 tapers off structured yet vibrant throughout, leaving a tinge of licorice on the mid-palate. This is a varietal Sangiovese raised in large oak barrels and neutral barriques. 92+ points. Vinous.
