The 2001 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano demonstrates in the most concrete way possible just what these changes have meant. A dark garnet in color with blackish highlights, the warm and roasted aromas of spicy berry fruit and the forceful, dense, and balanced flavors, sweet and concentrated from the attack to the finish, are admirable examples of skillful winemaking. Drink: 2005-2012. Importer: William Deutsch, White Plains, NY; tel. (914) 251-9463
