Description
The Villa Sant'Anna Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva Poldo is the undisputed top wine of Villa Sant'Anna and without a doubt one of the most beautiful wines from Montepulciano. The oenologist of Villa Sant'Anna has repeatedly been proclaimed as one of the best in Italy and that is not without reason. After uncorking you can smell the Tuscan hills. In only the best years, with a careful and very strict selection of the best grapes intended for Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, the cult wine Vino Nobile Poldo Riserva is made.
The fermentation in barrels takes place at a temperature of 30°C with a maceration of 25 days. Maturation in small oak wine barrels at controlled temperature for 3 years in French oak barriques and in the bottle the Poldo may still mature quietly for 2 years in the centuries-old wine cellar in which a natural ideal temperature and humidity prevail. The wine smells of ripe red fruits, spicy notes, roasted nuts and wood. Good structure, expressive and concentrated but with a soft taste and a fine, melting and long aftertaste. Must catch its breath to let the tannins melt. Delicious with Tuscan stews with rosemary, but also not to be missed to enjoy this gem from Montepulciano after dinner. This is a real Meditation wine. So beautiful!!

1. Tagliatelle with venison ragout
The spicy, earthy flavours of game form a harmonious combination with the firm tannins and ripe dark fruit in the wine. The ragù brings out the complexity of the wine without overpowering it.
2. Ossobuco with saffron risotto
The long-braised veal shank provides a rich, soft structure that complements the ripe tannins of the wine. The light saffron note from the risotto enhances the depth and spiciness of the glass of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano.
3. Grilled ribeye with rosemary and garlic
The full body of the wine supports the powerful meat. Rosemary and garlic enhance the spicy notes of the wine, while the fat in the meat is nicely rounded off by the tannins.
4. Lasagna with mushrooms and truffle
The umami of the mushrooms and truffle notes perfectly complement the earthy complexity of the wine, giving the wine extra space to show its secondary aromas as the flavours develop.
5. Ravioli with duck, sage and pecorino
The combination of hearty duck stuffing, aromatic sage and salty pecorino goes perfectly with the spicy structure of the wine. It creates a gastronomic interplay that remains rich but refined.
6. Roasted aubergine with lentils and balsamic vinegar
The smoky notes of eggplant, the earthy character of lentils and the light sweetness of balsamic find an interesting balance with the acidity and red fruit in the wine. This vegetal combination brings out the finesse of the wine.

The 2006 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Poldo is another big, dark wine, but it has the richness and depth of fruit to stand up to the considerable oak. Worn in leather, tar, smoke incense and plums are some of the many notes that flesh out in the generous yet powerful finish. The Poldo is decidedly virile and masculine in style. In 2006 the blend is 80% Prugnolo Gentile (Sangiovese) plus 20% assorted red grapes. The Poldo spent two years in French oak barrels.

James Suckling (via Wine‑Searcher): “A dark and complex wine with vermouth‑like depth and notes of orange peel, dried cherries and earth (…) velvety if not creamy tannins and refreshing acidity. Good length. Drink or hold.”

Kerin O’Keefe beschrijft de wijn als aanvankelijk gesloten, met later aroma’s van Frans eiken, ondergroei, kokos en kruidachtige tonen. Het smaakprofiel biedt gerijpe Morello-kers, sinaasappelschil en drop, met strakke, fijnkorrelige tannines. Afsluitend is er een koffieboonaccent in de afdronk

This amazing winery, run by women, is located on the hills around the Italian town of Montepulciano, known for its excellent wines. Montepulciano, as most wine lovers will know, is located in beautiful Tuscany, Italy's most famous wine region. 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 wines of excellent quality. 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 beautiful winery even more successful. In 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, that only the best oak barriques are used, the grapes are selected manually and the wines are given time to mature. In addition, at Villa Sant'Anna they have the great advantage of their ancient underground cellars where all wines can age at natural ideal temperature and humidity. Villa Sant'Anna's oenologist has been repeatedly voted one of the best in Italy, and for good reason. Immediately after uncorking 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 Abruzzo and Marken from the Montepulciano grape 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 for nothing that the wine is nicknamed 'Pope's drink' in the local dialect. Montepulciano, like Chianti, is made mainly from Sangiovese, but is a bit fuller and has more alcohol. Very nice specimens come from Tuscany, and the wines of Villa Sant'Anna are undoubtedly among the best. In the cellar, 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 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 Chianti Colli Senesi DOCG, the extremely enjoyable 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 destined for Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, is the cult wine Vino Nobile Poldo Riserva made.
