The 2015 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva pulls you close and holds your attention firm. This opens with an initial earthy, almost-animalistic burst, at first unleashing notes of crushed ashen stone, musk and smoke. Only with time in the glass does it reveal depths of black cherry, dusty rose and cloves, all offset by a spicy whiff of blood orange. It enters the palate silky in texture, with a pure and vivid display of red currants and savory herbs nicely contrasted by hints of sour citrus and juicy acidity. Nuanced tannins linger, framing the experience well, as rosy inner florals and savory nuances of minerals and young plum resonate throughout. What an incredibly beautiful yet understated expression this is. The Riserva is a classic blend of 80% Sangiovese to 20% Canaiolo and Mammolo. Wow. (Eric Guido, Vinous, December 2021)
