Avignonesi Vino Nobile Di Montepulciano Sangiovese 2019 DOCG (2 x 750ml)

This wine is made with Sangiovese grapes highlighting the balanced and harmonious traits of its habitat. The wine shows a sleek medium body, seamless tannins and a distinctive tasting profile. Great for the ‘now’ it reveals an impressive ageing potential. Tasting notes: The wine shows garnet red hues, intense aromas of ripe, red berry fruit, such as red plum, pomegranate, and red vine peach, sweet spices and Mediterranean herbs. On the palate the wine is well balanced, with generous pulp, seamless tannins and an endless finish. Reviews: 92 points, Decanter Since acquiring the property in 2009, Virginie Saverys has worked to convert all 162-plus hectares of vineyards to organic and biodynamic practices. In 2015 the Sangiovese was harvested relatively early, between 10-28 September. Hints of dried rose petals, violet, pepper and black tea add complexity to fragrant red cherry and strawberry. While light on its feet and immediately appealing, it has the substance and structure to hold for the next eight years. Vinous 91 points Avignonesi 2015 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is very pretty. Freshly cut flowers, sweet tobacco and dried herbs are some of the aromas that lift from this very pretty and nuanced Vino Nobile. Gracious, medium body and understated, the 2015 is a very pretty and expressive wine done in a style that favors delicacy and finesse. 91 points, Wine Enthusiast Aromas of baking spice, mature plum and crushed aromatic herb lift out of the glass. Elegant and linear, the taut medium-bodied palate offers dried cherry, star anise and a hint of espresso alongside youthfully austere fine-grained tannins. 90 points, James Suckling This has some pleasant, red-fruit aromas, but there’s a slightly unexpected undercurrent of dried tobacco, leather and cedar. The palate shows good form and polish, though, finishing round and juicy. Pure sangiovese.
