Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva DOCG 2020
The De Ferrari brothers select their Riserva from the oldest vines on the estate's best plots. Ruby red in colour with a garnet hue. The wine opens discreetly with subtle but captivating hints of sage, leather and allspice. On the palate, it is supple and agile and feels confidently extracted, with firm, straightforward tannins, but not overdone. The wood supports rather than imposes on the wine, and the vibrant acidity of the vintage comes through nicely. Long, seductive and delicately spicy on the final. SUPERIORE.DE

The Nobile Riserva, a cru from the historic Sotto Casa vineyard, deserves a place in the list of the best wines, with delicate aromas of cherries and spices that set the mood for intense, flavoursome drinking pleasure. It is a powerful and complex wine, youthfully dense and balanced, with a silky texture and an abundance of tart wild berries, emphasised by salty minerals and spices.

Even if the Vino Nobile is not exactly one of the best-known of Italian red wines, it still 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.
Because this Tuscan red wine could only be produced and drunk by the nobility in and around the medieval Renaissance town of Montepulciano, it was called Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, which means "noble wine from Montepulciano". This was one of the favourite wines of the Vatican and US President Thomas Jefferson and should not be confused with Montepulciano d'Abruzzo from the Abruzzo region in central Italy.
A Vino Nobile comes only from the hill town of Montepulciano in south-eastern Tuscany, where viticulture was documented as early as 789. Here, the surrounding sandy and clayey vineyards were planted with the local Sangiovese, which is also called Prugnolo Gentile by the locals. This grape variety determines the main share in the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano (at least 70%) and since 2010 can be blended to a maximum of 30% with the varieties Canaiolo, Colorino, Mammolo and some Bordeaux greats such as Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. For traditional freshness, a small proportion of white grape varieties such as Trebbiano or Malvasia Bianca Lunga may be added to the blend.
After fermentation, the Vino Nobile must mature for at least two years, because the young wine is often very tart and closed. After some time in the wooden barrel, it can develop into an elegant, velvety red wine with a medium structure. After that, it smells of dark, ripe berries, plums and quite spicy notes of tobacco and leaves. After three years of ageing, the Nobile is labelled Riserva and can be stored for another five to ten years.
Interest in foreign grape varieties also brought French oak barriques to Montepulciano in the 1990s, creating two distinct styles of wine: The modernists blend their Nobile with the French grape varieties and preferably age them in small barrique barrels (225l) to achieve concise wood notes. The traditionalists, on the other hand, use either only Sangiovese or a small proportion of the local Italian varieties mentioned above. These wines are then aged for a longer period in traditional, large Slavonian oak barrels (2,800 to 7,000l).
Indeed, there seems to be a joyful return to this classic, pure-toned Sangiovese style. Many winemakers are producing an increasingly juicy, varietal Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, which is undoubtedly one of the top three Tuscan Sangiovese wines, along with Chianti Classico and Brunello di Montalcino. Although they are produced from the same grape variety, however, these two better-known red wines are difficult to compare with the Vino Nobile. Because of its noticeable tannin and long ageing period, a good Vino 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. SUPERIORE.DE
