Tight and structured, with red berries, hibiscus, dried orange peel, crushed stones and hints of cedar and ground spices on the nose Firm and chewy yet polished in texture, with a full body, taut acidity and a mineral-driven finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

Winemaker Notes
Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Toscana is the principal wine of Poliziano. Revered by nobility through the centuries, Vino Nobile was often hailed as "the wine of kings." Today, Vino Noble is still considered to be special, thanks to the Prugnolo Gentile clone of Sangiovese that is grown in the Montepulciano area. Poliziano uses 85% Prugnolo Gentile in their blend, along with two traditional Tuscan varieties, Colorino and Canaiolo, and a bit of Merlot. The complementary varieties add color, depth, and complexity to the elegance of the Sangiovese.
