Tasting notes
Offered at a very attractive price point, the 2019 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is 92% Sangiovese with smaller parts of Colorino and Canaiolo. The Poliziano house style is very distinctive, and thise is one of the wines you can immediately recognize in a blind tasting, thanks to the soft extraction and sweet oak tannins obtained with up to 16 months of aging (in a combination of barrique, tonneaux and botte grande). Indeed, the wine flaunts a modern flavor profile with creamy dark fruit, baking chocolate and cinnamon spice over a full-bodied style. An ample 135,000 bottles were released.

A darkly elegant mix of cloves, sweet smoke, sugar-dusted plums and violette pastille wafts up from the 2019 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. This is delicate on the palate, silky in feel yet lifted with a savory mix of black fruit and inner herbal tones. The 2019 finishes a bit shorter than I’d like, yet cleans up nicely, leaving gently grippy tannins and the mouth watering for more.
