Podere Paradisino Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG Riserva 2017, 0,75 L

Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, alongside Brunello di Montalcino, Chianti Classico, and Morellino di Scansano, is one of the four key appellations that have propelled Sangiovese to its renowned status.

While often overshadowed by the formidable Brunello, Vino Nobile is a must-try for those seeking an elegant Sangiovese style.

The Riserva from Podere Paradisino is one of our latest discoveries, exemplifying Vino Nobile at its finest. Deep and dark in the glass, with a delicate brightening at the rim, it reveals the quintessentially beautiful and dark Sangiovese fruit from the very first sniff. Aromas of wild berries, cedar, vanilla, and balsamic notes emerge enticingly.

On the palate, the wild berry flavours are complemented by vanilla, firm tannins, and lively, fresh acidity. It is powerful, with a youthful touch and a long finish. The wine gains enormously with air, becoming more herbaceous and complex over time.

This Sangiovese offers a breathtaking flavour, somewhat more powerful than most Chiantis, akin to a Brunello but without the fierce roughness typical of Montalcino wines.
