Description

Discover the elegance of the Fattoria del Cerro 'Le Poggiole' Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva 2019, a true expression of its historic Tuscan terroir. Crafted by one of the most significant private producers in the region, this wine originates from the estate’s highest vineyards, where fossil-rich soils impart a unique mineral depth to the grapes. Predominantly made from Prugnolo Gentile (a local clone of Sangiovese) with a touch of Mammolo, the wine undergoes a meticulous aging process: 18 months in a combination of French barriques, tonneaux, and large oak barrels, followed by at least 12 months in the bottle.

This careful development results in a deeply structured yet remarkably velvety red wine. Upon opening, you are greeted by an intense ruby color with dark violet reflections. The bouquet is complex and inviting, featuring concentrated aromas of black cherries and wild berries, beautifully accented by notes of violet, powdered cocoa, and subtle hints of clove and spice. On the palate, the wine balances its robust structure with a surprising fluidity, offering a sophisticated harmony between dark fruit, fine-grained tannins, and a persistent, lingering finish that leaves delicate impressions of licorice and floral nuances.

This Riserva is a quintessential partner for a refined dining experience. Its inherent structure and elegance make it the ideal companion for hearty meat dishes such as roasted red meats, game ragouts, or traditional Tuscan wild boar. For a truly authentic pairing, enjoy it alongside a well-aged Pecorino Toscano, allowing the wine’s complex tertiary notes to shine. Whether you are building your cellar or looking for the perfect bottle for a special evening, this Vino Nobile is a proud representative of Montepulciano’s noble winemaking history, offering both immediate pleasure and impressive aging potential.
