Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG 2019
Avignonesi's Nobile production philosophy is deeply rooted in the balance and typicality of the terroir. Made from only Sangiovese grapes, wholly estate grown, the wine has a medium body, delicate tannins and a unique flavor profile. In its early stages it surprises with its exceptional drinkability and pleasantness, and as the years go by it continues to impress with its remarkable capacity for aging.
VINTAGE 2019 AS EXCELLENT as the work of our team... Wines draw smooth and long on the palate showing the senses a pleasant drinkability. The hidden sun or (the missed summer) made the ripening of our grapes very heterogeneous forcing the production team to overtime. Careful selections in the vineyard at the cluster harvest and berry selection in the cellar accord wines of great freshness and excellent drinkability.
