Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG 2016 - Poliziano

The Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG from Poliziano comes from vineyards on calcareous soils at an altitude of 280 to 360 meters. The cuvée consists of 88% Prugnolo Gentile (Sangiovese) and 12% Colorino, Canaiolo and Merlot.

Maceration and fermentation took place over three weeks in stainless steel tanks. Two thirds of the wine matured in French tonneaux, the rest in Slovenian oak barrels.

The bouquet delights with scents of sour cherries, cranberries, tobacco, leather, spices and herbs. On the palate, the wine is juicy, fresh and elegant, with a lively and drinkable character.

It goes perfectly with game dishes such as deer, roe deer or wild boar and classic side dishes such as red cabbage, mushrooms or spaetzle.
