Tasting the Riserva from Fattoria del Cerro takes you stylistically to those higher vineyard sites where fossil-rich soils full of pebbles and ancient shell remains lend the Prugnolo Gentile a special mineral depth. The crowning glory of the Montepulciano hierarchy is created from these favoured plots – a wine that requires time and patience to reveal its multi-layered nature. After careful selection, the wine undergoes 18 months of refinement, combining tradition and innovation: Eight months in French barriques and tonneaux, followed by a further twelve to sixteen months in large wooden barrels. This combination creates a character of remarkable elegance and the wood integrates seamlessly without overshadowing the varietal fruit. A final twelve months of maturation in the bottle completes the harmonious development.

Dark violet reflections adorn the intense ruby red colour in the glass. The bouquet opens with concentrated black cherries and dried berries, accompanied by violet notes, a hint of cocoa powder and subtle spicy nuances of clove and allspice. On the palate, the wine is powerfully structured, yet surprisingly polished and velvety. Mineral tones meet ripe red and black fruits, while fine-grained tannins give the wine backbone and ageing potential. The long, persistent finish is carried by floral notes and a refined hint of liquorice. A Nobile that embodies its origins with pride and dignity. SUPERIORE.DE

"Raspberry-fruity attack with balsamic nuances; elegant style with polish and character, impresses with its balanced texture, finesse and length." Vinum

"A hint of cocoa and ground cloves gives way to hints of dried black cherries and sawdust as the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva 2019 unfolds in the glass. It is round and soft in texture with ripe red and black fruits. Notes of white pepper and allspice are added towards the end. It leaves behind a cascade of inner flowers and edgy tannins that linger for a long time and a liquorice note that lingers." Vinous

"A spicy and fragrant red with aromas of pine needles, incense, walnuts and spiced plums. It is full-bodied with ripe, creamy tannins that blend well with the plum and berry fruit. Excellent concentration." James Suckling
