2020 Avignonesi - Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Poggetto di Sopra (750ml)

Grown in Montepulciano’s mineral-rich blend of silt, limestone, and blue sodium clay, the 2020 Avignonesi Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Poggetto di Sopra showcases a singular 1978 vineyard parcel’s distinct expression of Sangiovese, known locally as Prugnolo Gentile.

Cultivated under certified organic and biodynamic protocols since 2016, the estate keeps each micro-parcel separate during vinification to protect individual site character rather than enforcing a standardized house profile. Aged predominantly in large, neutral Slavonian oak casks alongside a measured portion of French oak, the wine prioritizes primary fruit and geological clarity over extracted wood influence.

The 2020 vintage delivers an aromatic profile built around dried rose, cedar shavings, wild strawberry, and floral underbrush. On the palate, bright minerality anchors tart cranberry and sour cherry notes that give way to warm spice. A lifted, finely structured mouthfeel yields a pleasingly tactile grip before closing with a clean, lingering echo of tart blackberry.

Serve this Tuscan red alongside roasted game birds, herb-crusted rack of lamb, or slices of aged pecorino. The wine’s natural acidity and savory depth cut through rich proteins and complement earthy aromatics effortlessly.
