Tenuta Calimaia Nobile di Montepulciano 2021

A still red from the heart of Tuscany, a Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG, 14% ABV, produced by Tenuta Calimaia – Frescobaldi. 2021 vintage, 0.75L bottle. A wine that embodies the tradition and elegance of Montepulciano, with a blend of 90% Sangiovese. The vineyards, arranged in a ring on the Monteliscione hill, are located approximately 300 meters above sea level. The grapes are vinified in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature (maximum 26°C), and fermentation was spontaneous. Maceration on the skins allowed for perfect extraction of polyphenolic substances. The wine matured in 50-hL oak barrels for 24 months. The complex bouquet recalls notes of red fruits, specifically cherry, sour cherry, and black cherry, which blend with hints of aromatic herbs, including sage and lavender. The palate is voluminous and energetic. The red fruits have excellent shelf life; the freshness and acidity are linked to raspberry and currant. Spicy notes envelop the palate. Good persistence. The tannins are youthful, fresh, and silky.
