Wine maker notes by Pierluigi Giachi Tenuta Torciano

The Nobile di Montepulciano Torciano fruit of Prugnolo ‘s best vineyard, is full-bodied, complex and elegant. Intense and refined fragrances, with plenty of ripe fruits and hints of violets. Fine silky tannins and a long and rich finish. The Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Torciano shows some tertiary definition with dried fruit, prune, tar and smoke. This is an elegantly streamlined and polished expression that offers lots of Sangiovese typicity. Wet earth and moist tobacco play an important role, aromatically speaking.

The result is our Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, structured, long-lived with intense aromas that faithfully represents its Tuscan origins and the ancient link between earth, man and culture.
Blend: 85% Prugnolo Gentile, 15% Colorino, Canaiolo and Merlot.
