The Vino Nobile from Poderi Sanguineto is one of the last traditional wines made in the town of Montepulciano.andnbsp; Dora Forsoni learned how to make wine from her father staring in 1968 and has not changed her methods since then.andnbsp; Her vineyards are planted not only to Sangiovese, which has come into vogue for Vino Nobile in emulation of the more famous wines of Brunello di Montalcino, but also include 20-30% Mammolo and Canaiolo. This combination lends the wine extra fragrance and helps to soften the more angular nature of Sangiovese.andnbsp; Dora has always farmed organically, fermented her wines in concrete with the Vino Nobile spending two years in large casks before bottling.

Crushed stone and earthy minerals blow off to reveal sugar-dusted red currant and a hint of spiced orange, as the deeply seductive 2018 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano opens in the glass. This is soothingly soft yet energetic with a spicy citrus tension. Red and black berries linger, along with sweet tannins, as this tapers off fresh and lifted. The 2018 may not be the longest-lived Vino Nobile from Sanguineto, but it will make a lot of people happy over the medium term. (Eric Guido, Vinous, December 2021)
