2016 Villa Sant'Anna Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva Poldo

Villa Sant'Anna winery - the women's domain in Italy

This amazing woman-run winery is located on the hills around the Italian town of Montepulciano, known for its excellent wines. Montepulciano is, as most wine lovers will know, in beautiful Tuscany, the most famous wine region in Italy. And when you say Tuscany, you naturally think of wine!

The Villa Sant'Anna winery located there has been owned by the Simona Ruggeri Fabroni family for about 200 years. For many years, Simona has been committed to maintaining the old, passionate family tradition of producing excellent quality wines. She now does this with the help and encouragement of her daughters Anna and Margherita. This 'ladies team' works tirelessly and full of passion & dedication to make this already so beautiful winery even more successful. The last 15 years, winery Villa Sant Anna in Montepulciano has also set the trend by focusing only on quality. This means that the plant density has been seriously reduced, only the best oak barriques are used, the grapes are manually selected and the wines are given time to mature quietly.

In addition, at Villa Sant'Anna they have the great advantage of their age-old underground cellars where all wines can age at natural ideal temperature and humidity. The Villa Sant'Anna Oenologist has been repeatedly voted one of the best in Italy, and for good reason. Immediately after uncork you can smell the Tuscan hills.

The Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is often confused with Montepulciano d'Abruzzo. What is the difference? The Vino Nobile di Montepulciano comes from the Tuscan town of Montepulciano and is made from the Sangiovese grape, locally called Prugnolo Gentile. Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is made in the Abruzzo and Marches from the grape variety Montepulciano of the same name. Pope Paul III already drank Vino Nobile in the 16th century, because according to his cellar master it was the perfect wine. It is not without reason that the wine is nicknamed 'pope's drink' in the local dialect. Like Chianti, Montepulciano is made from mainly Sangiovese, but it is a bit fuller and has more alcohol.

Very beautiful copies come from Tuscany, and the wines of Villa Sant'Anna are undoubtedly among the best. In the basement, winemaker Roberto Ferrini is lord and master. He is an experienced craftsman who belongs to the select group of the best winemakers in Italy. However, above the ground the 3 women (Simona Ruggeri Fabroni and her 2 daughters Anna and Margherita) hold sway in the ancient domain. Their 4 (red) wines are the de Chianti Colli Senesi DOCG, the extremely pleasant Rosso di Montepulciano and very refined Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. Only in the very best years, with a careful and very strict selection of the best grapes for Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, the cult wine Vino Nobile Poldo Riserva is made.
