The Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, a blend of 80% Sangiovese, 15% Canaiolo and 5% Mammolo combines purity of fruit with great elegance. The wine is garnet in colour, its nose intense yet elegant and the palate rich yet tight and sinewy. Avignonesi is one of the great names in Italian wine. The Falvo brothers, who owned vineyards in the district of Cortona, took over Avignonesi in 1974 and invested heavily in the estate. They used indigenous grapes and also introduced international varieties alongside native grape varieties. Today, Avignonesi has 115 hectares of vineyard split between four estates. Two of the estates, Le Capezzine and I Poggetti, are situated in the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano zone, while the other two, La Selva and La Lombarda, are located further to the east in the Cortona D.O.C. zone. Grapes for the Vino Nobile are sourced from La Stella vineyard on the Le Capezzine estate, as well as three vineyards on the I Poggetti estate. The use of alberello “bush or goblet” training ensures earlier ripening, something which in turn has given fuller, riper wines than Montepulciano was previously capable of producing. (12 x 37.5 cl)
