Ranked #76 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2016
An ethereal bouquet of violets, cherries, and wood fills the nose. On the palate, it is dry, harmonious, and fruity with a velvety, elegant texture and a long finish. Traditionally, this wine is paired with wild boar, but can accompany any game meat. Also great with aged cheeses. This is a cellar-worthy wine. Winemaker's Notes
Rated 90 Points by The Wine Advocate
"The 2011 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva is made with 70% Sangiovese (Prugnolo Gentile) and 30% Canaiolo with other red grapes. The wine shows great authenticity with earthy tones, dried rose, black fruit, cola and balsam herb. This Vino Nobile Riserva reveals a velvety texture and evident tannins at the back. It should evolve over the next decade, but you can also drink it now. "
Carpineto Vino Nobile Di Montepulciano Riserva 2011
Named for the Renaissance town of Montepulciano, the term nobile has historical roots in the original practice of reserving this wine exclusively for the aristocratic families of the area. Carpineto’s Vino Nobile is produced from fruit harvested exclusively from their Montepulciano Estate. The ethereal bouquet shows elegant notes of violet and toasted oak nuances. Bold fruit flavors envelope the palate with a velvety, elegant texture and long finish, it is dry and full in style. This Riserva benefits from extensive aging in a combination of Slavonian and French oak barrels for 18-24 months, followed by 12 months in bottle.
Made from 70% estate grown, dry farmed Prugnolo Gentile (sangioveseGrosso) and 30% Canaiolo Nero grapes. Aged over 2 years in oak, the wine is then bottle aged for at least one year before release. Displaying an intense bouquet of violets and berries, with hints of vanilla, the taste is fruity and velvety, with an elegant texture and a lingering finish. This wine, a traditional accompaniment to wild boar, will reward extensive cellaring and is best served with aged cheeses and meats.
A complex and elegant bouquet highlighted by persistent raspberry and vanilla aromas. It is warm and full with a velvety mouthfeel and a long, generous finish. This Riserva will reward extensive cellaring and pairs perfectly with roasts and game.
