When Virginie Saverys and Max De Zarobe realised that Montepulciano could only regain its historic reputation by working together, they founded Alleanza Vinum. Six prestigious wineries – salcheto, Poliziano, La Braccesca, Dei, Boscarelli and Avignonesi – joined forces in 2017 with a shared mission: each would create 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 a story spanning millions of years: marine sediments from the Pliocene, interspersed with deep veins of blue sodium clay, rich in silt and limestone – — a terroir that lends the Sangiovese exceptional depth. After 28 days of controlled maceration with natural yeasts selected from the ‘pied-de-cuve’, the wine matures for 24 months in large oak casks.

Scarlet red with brilliant highlights. Unfolds a rich bouquet of wild strawberries, raspberries and candied orange, followed by a subtle, lingering hint of incense. Vibrant and medium-bodied on the palate, it offers fleshy fruit supported by precise, ripe tannins. The oak is masterfully integrated, allowing ripe cherry to come to the fore and delicate notes of undergrowth to shine through – a fine testament to the Montepulciano terroir. SUPERIORE.DE
