Even if the (Vino) Nobile is not exactly one of the best-known of Italian red wines, it deserves the glamour and reputation of the historic noble wine with which high society, popes and even presidents have filled their wine cellars since the 16th century.
In recent years, there seems to be a joyful return to a classic and pure Sangiovese style. Many winemakers are producing an increasingly juicy, varietal Nobile di Montepulciano, which is undoubtedly one of the top three Tuscan Sangiovese wines, along with Chianti Classico and Brunello di Montalcino.
And although they are produced from the same grape variety, these two better-known red wines are difficult to compare with the Vino Nobile. Because of its more present tannins when young, a good Nobile di Montepulciano resembles a rich, powerful style of wine that can never be as fruity and light as a young Chianti Classico, but is nowhere near as expensive as a Brunello di Montalcino. So anyone who has lost their heart to Tuscan Sangiovese wines will not be able to avoid enjoying this noble Vino Nobile di Montepulciano.
