Podere Paradisino Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva DOCG 2019, 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 elevated Sangiovese to its current fame.

While often overshadowed by the mighty Brunello, Vino Nobile is a must-try for those seeking an elegant Sangiovese style. Currently, Montepulciano wines offer exceptional value for money, though the choice is ultimately yours.

The 2019 Riserva from Podere Paradisino is even more elegant and balanced than its predecessor. In the glass, it displays a dark Bordeaux red, medium-dense with a delicate brightening rim. The nose is quintessentially Sangiovese, bringing a smile to the face of any enthusiast of this grape variety.

On the palate, it is cool and aromatic, with typical wild berry notes and taut tannins, alongside a fragile acidity structure that provides excellent balance. It is powerful and juicy, becoming more herbaceous and complex with air. This great, typical Sangiovese could be considered a stylistic bridge between Brunello and Chianti Classico.
