Fattoria Le Casalte Vino Nobile de Montepulciano
Description: To the outside world, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano must qualify as Italy's greatest wine secret. The old image of dried-out wines aged too long in wood is taking longer to disappear than the old wines themselves. Which means that while, wine-wise, Montepulciano is moving to share center stage with Brunello and Chianti, its prices and reputation have yet to catch up. Made from Prugnolo gentile and Canaiolo nero, this wine has a perfumed nose of ripe strawberries, tuffles and licorice. Full-bodied, with ripe black fruit, leather and black licorice. Good firm tannins and extremely long length. (6 x 75 cl)
Price: £92.65
