Vino Nobile di Montepulciano
Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita
An intense ruby-red colour with purplish glints. The nose is an explosion of red fruit – cherries in liqueur, redcurrants, blackberries, myrtle orange and myrtle – paving the way for a plush, sweet palate. The nish is long and captivating.
