Nobile
di Montepulciano DOCG
The history of Vino Nobile originates from a centuries-old winemaking tradition, which already in the seventeenth century saw the Nobleman defined by Francesco Redi "of every wine is King" in his "Bacchus of Tuscany." It obtained the DOCG in 1980 and today it is considered one of the most prestigious Italian red wine. Vino Nobile has a ruby red color of good concentration, intense aroma with evident fruity notes and hints of wild berries, cherry and vanilla. In the mouth is full and round, persistent with a good tannic component. It is a classic pairing with roasted red and white meats, all the cheeses among which it prefers the "Pecorino di Pienza"
