The fermentation balances acidity and adds to its layered flavors, while a rich, seamless intensity defines the palate leading to a long, structured finish. Fresh, salty, mineral-driven and hugely refreshing; quintessential wine. It's more serious in the end, with a medium to full-bodied palate with plenty of notes and good acidity. Lovely, clean finish.


This is clearly not the best time to open this bottle. The aroma is beautiful and very noble: cherry, raspberry, oak. Everything is very restrained and portends real pleasure in a glass. But in fact, the balance is shifting towards acidity. What a pity! Perhaps it still needs to wait for the best time.

Another great vintage from this wine. A little more smoke than previous years, but with the similar notes of plum, a little cherry and oak.

Very interesting wine! Green apple dominates, dry profile with lots of fruit and freshness.

Nice wine although for some reason I preferred it chilled

Heerlijk bij een lasagne. Op nieuwe eikenhouten vaten gerijpt, dat valt zeer zeker te proeven. Fluweel zacht en elegant met toch body, een stoere man in een net pak. Ik ben hier helemaal weg van! Hints van vanille, bramen en kers.

Very nice wine, fresh with citrus flavors. A touch on the sweet side, but doesn’t spoil the experience.

Grapefruit. Tropical. Taste better warm.

Fresh, citrus not only in the nose, but the flavors hold over to the tasting. Smooth easy drinking. Finish falls inline with the other steps to the tasting. It is simply delicious!

Region
  Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is a Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita status for a red wine produced in the vineyards surrounding the town of Montepulciano, Italy. The wine is made primarily from the Sangiovese grape varietal (known locally as Prugnolo gentile) (minimum 70%), blended with Canaiolo Nero (10%–20%) and small amounts of other local varieties such as Mammolo. The wine is aged for 2 years (at least 1 year in oak barrels); three years if it is a riserva. The wine should not be confused with Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, a red wine made from the Montepulciano grape in the Abruzzo region of east-central Italy.

  Merlot is a dark blue–colored wine grape variety, that is used as both a blending grape and for varietal wines. The name Merlot is thought to be a diminutive of merle, the French name for the blackbird, probably a reference to the color of the grape.
