One of the best Vino Nobile di Montepulciano wines, this is an extremely smooth, rich and delicious wine; the 2003 wine features a dark ruby red color, complex and elegant nose of ripe dark fruits, oak and flowers and concentrated flavors of black cherries, oak and spices, an excellent velvety texture and a long complex finish; Carpineto has become one of the most innovative premium wine makers in Tuscany with a range of highly-acclaimed traditional and modern wines from five distinct locations.
Allow 30+ minutes for breathing and serve at 18℃; match with flavorful meats like wild boar, venison, aged steaks and flavorful cheeses.
18 months in oak & 6 months for bottle aging.
Lovely now and can be cellared for 7+ years.
