Antonio Sanguineti, Vino Nobile D.O.C.G.
(VEE-no NOH-bee-lay)

 

Tasting Notes: As a category, Vino Nobile is among the best values to come from Italia. Sanguineti’s Nobile is made from 100% Prugnolo Gentile, a wilder, more rough-hewn clone of Sangiovese than the Grosso from Montalcino. Its aromas are an intriguing swirl of cherry, moody plum, and orange tea. Aged in oak for two years, it is age worthy for over a decade. Powerful yet elegant, this is a classically styled Nobile, that is as pretty as it is potent.
