Lovely soft nose of dried leaves and rose petals. Well balanced mouthwatering acidity and soft lingering tannins. Earthy on the palate with dark cherries chocolate dried leaves clove. Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. — 4 months ago

Vino Nobile de Montepulciano is a unique Sangiovese. We fell in love with it when we visited the region. Perhaps a bit of an acquired taste because it has a bit of a stringent dark, earthy, gravel, irony finish following vibrant dark red cherry… but it only takes a glas to get hooked. Paired surprisingly well with aged Gouda cheese proving its robust structure and present earthy umami flavors. The wine is aged in a medieval underground space below the winery with soaring high vaulted ceilings representing a cathedral highlighting wine as a spiritual experience. Also the name of winery goes back the twelve century as a recluse living in the caves, where the winery stands today, was able to read the weather from the behavior of a hedgehog, riccio in Italian. — 3 years ago

Earthy dark berries on the nose. Mouthwatering acidity on the palate. Earth and moss blended with candied cherries and raspberries with cinnamon and clove on the palate. Overall crisp and earthy with fruit undertones. The finish is long and dry. I would pair with a spicy pasta to counterbalance the earthiness. — 2 years ago
