When Virginie Saverys and Max De Zarobe realised that Montepulciano could only regain its historical reputation by working together, they created the Alleanza Vinum. Six prestigious wineries – salcheto, Poliziano, La Braccesca, Dei, Boscarelli and Avignonesi – joined forces in 2017 on a mission: each creates its own 100 per cent Sangiovese cru every year, embodying the rediscovery of Vino Nobile. Avignonesi's contribution comes from the legendary Caprile vineyard, planted in 1978 at an altitude of 300 metres. The soil tells of millions of years: Marine sediments from the Pliocene, criss-crossed by deep veins of blue sodium clay, rich in silt and limestone – a terroir that gives the Sangiovese exceptional depth. After 28 days of controlled maceration with natural yeasts from the Pied-de-Cuve selection, the wine matures for 24 months in large oak barrels.

Scarlet red in colour with bright reflections. Develops a rich bouquet of wild strawberries, raspberries and candied oranges, followed by a subtle, persistent hint of incense. Vibrant and medium-bodied on the palate, with fleshy fruit carried by precise, ripe tannins. The wood integrates masterfully, allowing ripe cherry to emerge and delicate undergrowth notes to appear – a noble testimony to the Montepulciano terroir. SUPERIORE.DE

"Brilliant ruby red colour with rim brightening. Blackberries and nutmeg on the nose with a hint of graphite. Lots of cherry and some marzipan on the palate, rich, ripe tannins, harmonious acidity, finely spiced final." Falstaff

"Spicy cherry and raspberry fruit is accented by iron and wild herbs in this succulent red. Dense, assertive tannins ply the long, burly finish. There’s a core of ripe fruit, so be patient." Wine Spectator

"Beautiful nose with impressive concentration and clarity, offering red berries, mulberries, exotic spices, crushed hazelnuts and hints of iodine, wet undergrowth and chocolate. Compact, focused and balanced, with a medium to full body and refined, well-integrated tannins that run the length of the wine, leading to a seamless, fine-textured finish. Well crafted, broad and long but not overwhelming." James Suckling
