A restrained and precise wine focused on freshness. The nose shows fresh violets, red cherries, pomegranates, spices, black pepper and graphite. Youthful profile overall, with a full body, ripe velvety tannins, chewy acidity and a tight yet balanced fruity finish with length. Drink or hold.
Dark and balsamic in the glass, the 2019 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Pieve Caggiole smolders up with a hauntingly floral bouquet featuring wilted violets, lavender and white pepper aromas giving way to lifting hints of crushed blackberry, sage and mint. It's cool-toned and sleek, with silken textures and ripe wild berry fruit notes that penetrate deeply as a spike of zesty acidity creates a sense of boundless energy. It leaves a coating of sweet tannins that frame the experience quite nicely. A hint of licorice mixes with tart black raspberry and a tinge of sour citrus. The 2021 is the total package, powerful and rich yet complex and spry. What a beauty.
