The 2014 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Asinone is a deep and complete wine. Only 10,000 bottles were produced in order for the winery to keep momentum going (and not skip a vintage) despite severely reduced yields in 2014. The wine is silky and elegant with bright berry nuances of dried raspberry and cherry. It closes with balsam intensity followed by grilled herb and licorice. Asinone is 100% Sangiovese.

Shows fine balance, richness and purity, from the beam of cherry fruit to the dense yet well-integrated tannins. Graphite, earth, spice and leafy underbrush notes add depth. Excellent finish. Best from 2018 through 2026. 1,000 cases made, 200 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Select to Add
