TOP - Villa Sant'Anna's Oenologist has been repeatedly proclaimed one of the best in Italy, and for good reason. Already after uncorking you can smell the Tuscan hills. Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is often confused with Montepulciano d'Abruzzo. What is the difference? The Vino Nobile di Montepulciano comes from the Tuscan town of Montepulciano and is made from the Sangiovese grape, locally called Prugnolo Gentile. Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is made in the Abruzzo and Marche from the grape of the same name Montepulciano. Pope Paul III already drank Vino Nobile in the 16th Century, because according to his cellar master it was the perfect wine. It is for good reason that the wine has the nickname 'pope drink' in the local dialect. Like Chianti, Montepulciano is made mainly from Sangiovese, but is a bit fuller and has more alcohol. Very beautiful specimens come from the region and the wines of Villa Sant'Anna are undoubtedly among the best. This is where winemaker Roberto Ferrini reigns in the cellar, an experienced craftsman who belongs to the select group of best winemakers in Italy. Above the ground three women lead the age-old domain, namely Simona Ruggeri Fabroni and her two daughters. They are very proud of this Vino Nobile, made from Sangiovese, supplemented with some local varieties Mammolo, Canaiolo, Colorino and international star Merlot. At Villa Sant'Anna they go with the times so no more large wooden barrels. Officially, Vino Nobile only has to mature for one year on wood, but Roberto Ferrini allows the wine to mature for two years in smaller French oak barrels and then a further year in the cool cellars of the villa. This patience is reflected in your glass. No strong tannins as is often the case with young Vino Nobile, but rather a smooth wine full of black fruit, spices and some vanilla. Excellent with cheeses or a piece of fried meat. Fermentation in barrels at a temperature of 30 ° C with a soaking of 20 days. Aging in small and medium oak wine barrels at controlled temperature for 2 years, in the bottle for another 1 year in a cold cellar. Black berries, herbs, tobacco and a subtle hint of earth come into their own in this attractive wine from Villa Sant 'Anna. A very nice example of a beautiful Vino Nobile de Montepulciano, from the beautiful but very small wine region. Organically grown and certified with VEGAN and this version comes in a half bottle of 0. 375 liters for 2-3 glasses of good wine. - 2015 Villa Sant'anna Vino Nobile Di Montepulciano DOCG 0.375L | Red Wine | 13% ABV | 37.5cL
