Poggio Uliveto Vino Nobile di Montepulciano 2021

Tasting Notes

There is a beguiling vermouth-like nose, with dried cherry, star anise, potpourri and orange peel aromas. The attack is firm and chalky as expected from a Sangiovese, with a full body, velvety tannins and crisp if not zesty acidity. Impressive concentration and very good ripeness not without tension, with cherry pits and spices in the finish. Drinkable now, but best in five to six years. (jamessuckling.com,May 2, 2024)
