Varietal

Sangiovese

The name of this grape, meaning 'blood of Jove' conjures up evocative images of long dead civilizations, and gives the Sangiovese varietal a sense of the holy, the sacred, the special. Indeed, this particular type of Italian grape has been cultivated and processed for thousands of years, and is said to be the original favorite grape varietal of the Romans, and the Etruscans before them. Throughout history, vintners have continued to plant this varietal, and they continue to produce wonderful wines to this day. The long bunches of very dark, round fruit are treasured by fine wineries in Italy and a few other places around the world, and when young, these grapes are lively â€“ full of strawberry flavors and a little spiciness. However, it is when they are aged in oak that they take on some truly special flavors and aromas, as seen in some of the finest wines of the Old World.

Country

Italy

There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' – the land of wines – so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.

Region

Tuscany

The central Italian region of Tuscany is widely understood to be one of the world's most famous and highly regarded wine regions. The beautiful rolling hillsides and medieval towns and castles which are a key feature of the area are also home to many of Europe's finest wineries, and extremely high quality vineyards growing the distinctive Sangiovese and Vernaccia grape varietals which are the flavorful backbone of Tuscany's wonderful red and white wines. For almost three thousand years, this region has been recognized as an ideal home for wine production on a large scale, and the ancient Etruscans, Greeks and Romans all noticed that fine grape varietals flourished on the unique soils and under the hot sunshine which typifies the area. Today, Tuscany is home to a wide range of wines, from the traditional to the complex, but all dedicated to excellent flavors and aromas, and maintaining the region's international reputation.

Appellation

Vino Nobile Di Montepulciano

VM 95pts

Vinous Media

The 2021 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva smolders up with crushed plums and cherries, complementary hints of rosemary and crushed stone. Autumnal spices elevate sleek red berry fruits as fine-grained tannins gather toward the close. The structured finish leaves a pleasantly chewy sensation.

Winery Notes

Prugnolo Gentile, Canaiolo Nero & Mammolo. Prugnolo Gentile is the variant of Sangiovese found in Montepulciano and historically co-planted with supporting varieties like Canaiolo and Mammolo. Proprietor Dora Forsoni has been farmiing her family's vines organically forever, many of them quite old (plantings go back to 1963) and all maintained meticulously by her and by hand. Soils are worked several times per year. The bunches are harvested manually and destemmed with the berries left mainly whole and layered in concrete tanks. Fermentation is spontaneous with native yeasts. Maceration lasts around 10 days before a very gentle, slow pressing. Notably and emphatically, Dora makes a single red wine each vintage: it becomes her Rosso di Montepulciano, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and Vino Nobile Riserva, distinguished simply by length of aging. The Riserva sees 3 years (vs. 2 for the Vino Nobile normale and 1 for the Rosso di M.) in a mix of French and Slavonian oak botti ranging from 18 to 30 hectoliters. Note the discreet "I & II" appended to the "Poderi Sanguineto" estate name--like so many Italian farms at the turn of the 20th century, Sanguineto was part of a feudalistic agricultural system, divided into blocks worked by sharecroppers for the lord of the manor--Dora's part of the original property is old #1 and #2 blocks.
