Reviews and Ratings

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 94/100 with the following review:

The name of this wine derives from the fact that originally it was made only for the aristocratic noble families in the town of Montepulciano, in Siena. Crafted mainly from Sangiovese grapes, it is aged for two years in oak barrels, then for another 6-8 months after bottling. The nose is exceptionally elegant, with beautiful violet, berry and wood hints. The flavourful palate gives tart cherry, strawberries, dried herbs, cocoa, tobacco, baking spice and oak, in excellent balance with bright acidity, refined tannins and a long finish. Pair this with sirloin steak, roast duck, wild boar or aged cheeses and feel like an aristocrat!

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
