Intensiv rubinrote Vino Nobile Riserva mit würzigem Bouquet aus Aromen von getrockneten Früchten, Zimt, Nelken und Süßholz. Am Gaumen glatt und mit vielfältigen Nuancen, schöne Fülle, Struktur und Intensität, geschmeidige Tannine. Sehr niveauvoller Genuss zum hervorragenden Preis. SUPERIORE.DE

Dieser granatrot funkelnde Vino Nobile begeistert uns wohlriechend nach Trockenpflaume und einem Hauch von Zimt und Gewürznelke.

"The organic 2017 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano offers a delicate embroidery of red fruit, pressed violet and potting soil. There are subtle highlights of dried orange peel and iron ore as well. This pretty wine prizes fruit purity and simplicity. It offers a naked interpretation of this noble appellation without distractions or too many bells or whistles. The wine is light and streamlined on the palate, but there is enough tannic power to carry it over a meal of pici pasta and rabbit ragù." Robert Parker

"Salcheto checks a lot of boxes. The winery is powered by renewable energy, water waste is 100% recycled, there are no added sulphites during vinification and the entire production is certified organic and packaged in light weight bottles. Above all, the Nobile tastes delicious. It is clean and immediately appealing offering complex cedar, earth, tea and balsamic nuances atop forest fruit. Full-bodied and full of character, it is rich yet fresh and seductively textured with polished tannins. A great success for this challenging vintage." Decanter

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 dieser Nobile Riserva. SUPERIORE.DE

"Extremely round and juicy with lovely berry and light chocolate character and hazelnut undertones. Medium body. Delicious finish." James Suckling

Schlichtweg köstlich ist der Nobile von Avignonesi, mit dem Jahrgang 2016 erstmals bio-zertifiziert: Saubere Duftleistung mit äußerst ansprechendem Aromenspektrum, herzhaftem Geschmack, geschmeidigem Verlauf und sanftem Ausklang. SUPERIORE.DE

"A bright, pretty Vino Nobile showing rose petals, tulips and orange zest. Taut tannins draw out fine layers of firm tannins, coating the vibrant fruit in sparkling acidity. Medium-bodied and medium chewy. Crunchy on the finish." James Suckling

"Fragrant and loaded with finesse, this has enticing aromas of dark-skinned berry, violet, camphor and whiffs of pipe tobacco. The vibrant, linear palate has great tension, delivering juicy Morello cherry, crushed mint, orange zest and star anise framed in taut, fine-grained tannins. It's balanced, with bright acidity." 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

"The 2017 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano offers ripe cherry and blackberry fruit with a long and fleshed out mouthfeel. Poliziano is a detailed-minded estate that is one of the founding fathers of modern Vino Nobile. This forward-looking producer has produced a versatile wine from a hot vintage to pair with pasta or easy meat dishes." Robert Parker

"Lots of plums on the nose with some flowers. Black cherries and dried flowers, too. Full-bodied with chewy, juicy tannins and a flavorful finish. Deep and rich, yet there’s a fresh form to it. Give it a year or two to soften. Better after 2022." James Suckling

"This is sleek and well-defined, offering black cherry, blackberry, tar, iron and tobacco flavors shaped by vivid acidity. The tannins are dense, yet overall this is balanced, lingering on the complex, spicy finish." Wine Spectator

Brillantes Rubinrot mit leicht aufhellendem Rand. Beeindruckender Duft von roten Beeren, Rauch und dunklen Gewürzen. Am Gaumen straff, geradlinig, ausdrucksstark und von schöner Länge. Boscarellis Nobile di Montepulciano ist ein wunderbar präzises Exemplar seiner Anbauzone. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2017 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano offers a classic expression of this celebrated Tuscan appellation. The hot-vintage fruit is dark, ripe and fragrant. Aromas of black cherry, plum and toasted almond lift from the bouquet. This mid-weight wine offers a good level of refreshing acidity with an open-knit approach and some dusty tannins on the close. If you have a bottle, the wine is ready to drink straight out of the gate." Robert Parker

"A big, juicy Nobile with cherries, walnuts, chocolate and spice. It’s full-bodied, chewy and layered. Lots of tannins, yet it shows intensity and energy. Give this a year or two, but impressive now." James Suckling

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 organic Salcheto 2015 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva opens to intensity and bright aromas. This estate shows favorable results with its 2015s. The bouquet here is generous and rich with dark cherry, blackberry, plum, potting soil and pressed violets. To the palate, the wine shows some texture and grain, but the wine ends with a mid-weight presentation and dusty tannins." Robert Parker

"Made with 95% Sangiovese and 5% Colorino, this offers subtle aromas of ripe dark-skinned fruit, oak-driven spice and a balsamic whiff of eucalyptus. On the tense, structured palate, close-grained tannins accompany dried cherry, licorice, tobacco and an invigorating hint of menthol." 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 rich red with terracotta and dark-berry aromas and flavors and a hint of chocolate. Full body, velvety tannins and a flavorful finish. Shows density and tension." 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

"Zurückhaltende Noten von Steinobst und Leder; die Tannine voller Schliff und Finesse, guter Verlauf, feinwürzig das Finale. Zu Wildgeflügel mit Polenta." Vinum

"The 2016 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva is based on Sangiovese but sees a tiny bit of Colorino added to the blend. Aged longer than a classic Vino Nobile, this Riserva is elegant and fine. The primary fruit is neatly folded into the wine's savory aromas of spice, leather and toasted nut. The bouquet is on the neutral side, but the basics are all there. Ultimately, you get good balance here and a well-rounded Tuscan red that is well suited to roasted lamb or pork." Robert Parker

Rassiger und verführerischer Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. Sehr intensives Bouquet aus Frucht, Tabak, Kräutern und Röstnoten. Am Gaumen voluminös und harmonisch rund, seidig-süße Tannine und hervorragende Länge. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2015 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Salco is an organic selection of fruit from across the estate's best vineyards. You definitely get the warmth and intensity that is characteristics of this vintage, and the wine shows a very healthy and opulent quality of fruit. Like some of the other important wines from 2015, Salco's texture is loose and open-knit, with some mild grittiness on the tannins. However, the mouthfeel tapers down to a silky and fine finish all said and done." Robert Parker

"Fragrant purple-flower, dark spice and black-skinned-berry aromas mix with new leather and pipe tobacco. It's both elegant and enveloping, delivering ripe Marasca cherry, cranberry, licorice and hints of dried herb alongside taut, velvety tannins. It closes on a note of coffee bean. Drink through 2027." Wine Enthusiast

"Beginning to hit a sweet spot, revealing fading cherry, plum, iron, mushroom, woodsy and tobacco aromas and flavors. Its tannins are still a bit gruff, but nothing a good steak or braised lamb or beef dish won't take care of." Wine Spectator

Kurz nach der Jahrtausendwende legte Avignonesi vier neue Weinparzellen an, die nach langen Untersuchungen und Experimenten als die besten ermittelt wurden, um die zukünftigen Cru-Nobile des Hauses hervorzubringen. Sie heißen Banditella, Caprile, El Grasso und Oceano. Sie geben jede für sich einen spannenden Eindruck in das vielschichtige Terroir um das kleine Städtchen Montepulciano und die Ergebnisse beweisen eindrucksvoll, welches Potenzial in der lange im Schatten von Montalcino stehenden Region vorhanden ist.

La Banditella stammt von Böden maritimen Ursprungs, die reich an Ton, Schluff und Kalkstein sind. Die Reben wachsen auf ca. 320 m Höhe über dem Meeresspiegel in nördlicher Ausrichtung. SUPERIORE.DE

"One of five limited production, single-vineyard offerings from Avignonesi, the north-facing Banditella vineyard is the last to ripen. It sits at 300 to 320 metres above sea level and the soil is sandy with abundant pebbles and varying degrees of calcium-carbonate. This is a fragrant, vertical wine with nuances of rosehip, violets and mint, along with refreshing acidity asserting itself throughout. Though the tannins aren't immense, they are firm and powdery in texture. The subtle rustic edge remains charming and a saline finish lingers with herb blossoms." Decanter

"This is polished and lush, with plum, black cherry, iron and tobacco flavors, accented by smoky oak. Balanced, but give this a year or two to integrate more fully. Offers a firm, lingering finish." Wine Spectator

"Aromas of cherries, smoke and hints of tobacco and fresh herbs. Full body. Tangy and chewy with lovely intensity and length. Shows energy and freshness. From biodynamically grown grapes." James Suckling
