Vino Nobile

Rubinrot funkelnd, feines Bouquet nach Veilchen, Himbeeren und frischen Kirschen. Am Gaumen viel Frucht, breitet sich rund und weit aus, seidige Tannine und saftiges Finale. (superiore.de)

"This historic Montepulciano property was recently passed onto the next generation of the della Seta family, and are now pursuing organic certification. Predominantly Prugnolo Gentile, with a pinch of Canaiolo Nero and Merlot, the 2015 is a standout, exhibiting rare elegance for the vintage. It is medium-weight, with depth and complexity given by hints of spice, orange, lavender and tea. Firm, chalky tannins need some time to resolve, but will lend mid-term ageability." Decanter

Funkelndes Rubin, feine kräuterige Nase, öffnet sich allmählich und zeigt Noten nach Brombeere, Kirsche und Gewürznelken. Voll am Gaumen, mit präsentem, aber doch fein eingebundenem Tannin, spannt einen weiten Bogen, im Finale schöne Energie mit einer guten Portion gereifter Frucht. (superiore.de)

"This is matured for two years in a combination of large oak casks and smaller barrels of first and second use. The 10% Merlot makes itself known, lending a dark purple hue with sweet plum and blackberry. On the palate, cocoa and mint chime in, and while this lacks some sense of place, the oak is integrated and the tannins give plenty of structure to the fruit." Decanter

"This shows aromas of black cherries and blackcurrants with hints of dark chocolate. Full body, soft and velvety tannins and a crispy finish." James Suckling

Herrlich duftiges, fruchtig-florales Bouquet. Im Geschmack erinnert er an Zwetschgen und Kirschen mit einer feinen vanillig würzigen Komponente und deutlicher, sehr angenehmer Säure und geschliffenen Tanninen. Klare Fruchtaromen, enorme Samtigkeit und ein langer Abgang betonen die Harmonie dieses Nobile Riserva. (superiore.de)

"A straightforward red with a solid density and fruitiness. Medium body. Spicy and fruity finish." James Suckling

"The 2013 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva is the wine that stood out to me most among these new releases from Fattoria del Cerro. This is a modern and contemporary expression with dark fruit and dried cherry followed by spice and moist chewing tobacco. It sports an inky black appearance with a robust and thickly layered texture." Robert Parker

Dieser granatrot funkelnde Vino Nobile begeistert uns wohlriechend nach Trockenpflaume und einem Hauch von Zimt und Gewürznelke. Am Gaumen viel präsente Frucht, feiner, süßer Schmelz im langen Nachhall. Ein authentischer und angenehm eleganter Bio-Wein aus dem Herzen des Montepulciano-Gebietes. (superiore.de)

"This round version is laced with cherry, spice, leather, earth and tobacco flavors. Shows grip on the finish and sweet fruit and freshness in the end." Wine Spectator

"Pipe tobacco, wild berry and star anise aromas set the tone on this light-bodied but savory red. The bright, almost ethereal palate reflects the nose, offering Marasca cherry, licorice and a hint of graphite framed in polished tannins." Wine Enthusiast

Ein solider und jedes Jahr hervorragender Tropfen ist der Nobile von Poliziano, der nach dunklen roten Kirschen, Brombeeren und Röstnoten duftet. Am Gaumen kompakt und geschliffen, weich und ausgewogen mit seidigen Tanninen und einem langen, eleganten Nachhall. (superiore.de)

"Shy in aroma, this is effusive on the palate, exuding black cherry, blackberry, earth, iron, vanilla and toasty oak flavors. Converges on the dense structure, showing future potential." Wine Spectator

"The 2015 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is a truly generous Tuscan red with a bright and cherry-driven bouquet. Some 250,000 bottles were produced, and this is the average for this wine. Blending is executed in cement tanks, and the oak influences are downplayed. This is a deep, plush, soft and rich expression overall." Robert Parker

"Fragrant woodland berry, blue flower and cake spice aromas mingle with a balsamic menthol note. The concentrated but almost weightless palate offers juicy raspberry, fleshy black cherry, espresso and star anise alongside polished supple tannins." Wine Enthusiast

"Blackberry, walnut and dried-flower aromas follow through to a full body, chewy tannins and a rich finish. Needs two or three years to soften." James Suckling

Schlichtweg köstlich ist der Nobile von Avignonesi: Saubere Duftleistung mit äußerst ansprechendem Aromenspektrum, herzhaftem Geschmack, geschmeidigem Verlauf und sanftem Ausklang. (superiore.de)

"This has some pleasant, red-fruit aromas, but there’s a slightly unexpected undercurrent of dried tobacco, leather and cedar. The palate shows good form and polish, though, finishing round and juicy. Pure sangiovese." James Suckling

"Since acquiring the property in 2009, Virginie Saverys has worked to convert all 162-plus hectares of vineyards to organic and biodynamic practices. In 2015 the Sangiovese was harvested relatively early, between 10-28 September. Hints of dried rose petals, violet, pepper and black tea add complexity to fragrant red cherry and strawberry. While light on its feet and immediately appealing, it has the substance and structure to hold for the next eight years." Decanter

Glänzendes dunkles Rubin. Sehr klare und schön gezeichnete Nase nach saftiger Kirsche und Kräutern. Elegante Frucht am Gaumen, entfaltet sich in schöner Saftigkeit, am Ende mit gutem Druck und respektabler Länge. (superiore.de)

"Stylistically speaking, this wine stands apart from its peers. It shows a deep inner core of dark fruit that is solid and compact. The 2014 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano from Boscarelli is recommended to anyone curious to taste this historic Tuscan appellation. The fruit here is bright and vibrant. The wine offers ample depth and volume." Robert Parker

"Bright, evoking cherry, floral and mineral flavors. Light-bodied and elegant, yet with ample grip from tannins and acidity." Wine Spectator

"A solid red with juicy fruit, plenty of cherry and light balsamic character. Full and chewy. Bright acidity. A solid, well-made Vino Nobile." James Suckling

"Wild berry, dark culinary spice, purple flower and a whiff of aromatic herb are some of the aromas you'll find on this vibrant red. The elegant medium-bodied palate shows pomegranate, tart cherry, clove and star anise alongside bright acidity and polished tannins." Wine Enthusiast

Boscarellis Vino Nobile di Montepulciano ist ein wunderbar klares Exemplar seiner Anbauzone. Granatfarben, zarter Duft von roten Beeren und dunklen Gewürzen, am Gaumen geschmeidig und ausdrucksstark. (superiore.de)

"Aromas of tar, berries and violets follow through to a full body, firm and silky tannins and a juicy finish. A little tannic now. Give it a year or two to soften." James Suckling

"Shows terrific purity, featuring rose, cherry, strawberry and graphite aromas and flavors. Delivers plenty of finesse alongside a firm structure. Offers excellent balance and a lingering aftertaste." Wine Spectator

Einen Platz in der Bestenliste verdient die Nobile Riserva von Fattoria della Talosa, die mit delikaten Dufteindrücken von Kirschen und Gewürzen auf den intensiven, schmackhaften Trinkgenuss einstimmt. Ein kräftig-eleganter Vertreter seiner Art mit gut gereifter Frucht im Finale. (superiore.de)

"Deceptively medium in body, Fattoria della Talosa's 2012 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva packs a real punch. The Sangiovese speaks with a bold, authoritative voice. Black cherry, smoke, leather, tobacco and grilled herbs add nuance. Wild and full of character, the 2012 has a lot to offer." Antonio Galloni

Feine Nobile Riserva mit würzigen Noten von Nelke und Zimt auf einer klaren Fruchtbasis von Waldbeeren. Am Gaumen weich, körperreich und mit delikaten Tanninen, klingt lang und dynamisch aus. (superiore.de)

"The Salcheto 2012 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva is a little thinner and more precise compared to the previous vintage. The wine opens to mid-weight consistency and displays pretty aromas of wild berry, cassis and dried cherry. The 2012 vintage is steady and well assembled, although the high notes are more muted. However, you can count on the bouquet to deliver authentic and true Sangiovese aromas. There are pretty notes of balsam or medicinal herb on the close." Robert Parker

"Dark notes of blackberry and plum are reinforced by molasses and licorice flavors. Dense and meaty, this red is surprisingly nimble given the power and concentration. What this needs is an aged, grilled steak." Wine Spectator

"Toast, mocha, spiced plum and pipe tobacco aromas come together in this savory red. The palate offers juicy raspberry, wild cherry, star anise and vanilla notes with firm, refined tannins." Wine Enthusiast

Antica Chiusina aus Einzellage mit sauberem und intensiv lieblichem Bouquet, schöner Frucht und feinem Tannin. Tiefgründiger, ausgewogener Geschmack mit mineralischen Tönen, der durch seine Dichte und den langen Abgang sehr überzeugt. (superiore.de)

"A dense and layered red with light jam and an intensity to it. Plenty of fruit and hints of dried cherry. Some fresh mushroom, too. Full body, round tannins and a long and flavorful finish. If you like more fruit, go for this." James Suckling

Rubinrot mit Granatschimmer. Boscarellis Riserva verströmt einen wunderbaren Kräuter- und Kirschenduft. Am Gaumen saftig, dicht und kompakt, mit robusten Tanninen und feiner Säure. Lang, verführerisch und fruchtig das Finale. (superiore.de)

"Quite a subtle bouquet of ripe cherries, plums and earth leads into a powerful red with plenty of tannins and the ripeness to carry them. Long, dry finish." James Suckling

"The 2013 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva ages in large oak casks for six months longer than the normal Vino Nobile. It also sees an additional six months of bottle aging before its commercial release. This is an austere and spicy red wine with crunchy fruit and a long finish. It delivers red cherry, blueberry and clove." Robert Parker

"Exotic spice, pressed violet and woodland-berry aromas create an inviting bouquet. The linear elegant palate delivers tart cherry, strawberry, licorice and white pepper while bright acidity and firm refined tannins provide balance and support. A note of orange zest closes the finish. It's still young so give it time to fully blossom." Wine Enthusiast

"The cherry and plum fruit is mellowing, while leather, tobacco, licorice, mineral and tea elements add complexity. Fresh, with a light astringency on the finish." Wine Spectator
