Castellani Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG, Tuscany, Italy 2016

Description

From the historic appellation of Montepulciano, the 2016 Castellani Vino Nobile di Montepulciano reflects the strength and structure of a highly regarded vintage in Tuscany. Based primarily on Sangiovese, locally known as Prugnolo Gentile, the wine emphasizes balance and classical proportion.

The bouquet reveals dried cherry, red plum, and violet, layered with notes of leather, tobacco, and warm earth. On the palate, firm yet refined tannins frame the fruit, while vibrant acidity maintains lift and delineation. The 2016 vintage brings clarity and depth without excess weight, allowing savory nuance and subtle spice to emerge with air.

The finish is persistent and composed, marked by red fruit, dried herbs, and a gentle mineral impression. A traditional and well structured expression of Vino Nobile from Italy, showing both maturity and continued aging potential.
