Frederico Carletti, the current owner of Azienda Agricola Poliziano, is responsible for a revolutionary change. Carletti has turned Poliziano into a real wine producing company, which produces and bottles its own wines. He left for Piedmont to study oenology at university. He then did internships with various wine producers, to gain the necessary practical experience. Then it was time to make his childhood dream come true. Since he took over in 1981, the company's star has risen rapidly.

Among the innovations he introduced were the planting of new grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, as well as the creation of new wines such as Le Stanze, Elegia and a Riserva of separate vineyards, such as Vigna Asinone. With these showpieces Carletti won the hearts of wine lovers and won numerous prizes at international competitions. Poliziano is now generally regarded as one of the great pioneers of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano.

WINE-FOOD SUGGESTIONS:

• Spaghetti with tomato sauce, basil and Parmesan
  The acids in the tomato and the savoury cheese match perfectly with the fresh structure and fruity character of the wine.

• Grilled sausages with fennel and paprika
  The spiciness and fat of the sausages go well with the mature flavours and structure of the Vino Nobile.

• Chicken cacciatore (stew with tomatoes, onions and olives)
  The rich, Mediterranean flavours are beautifully carried by the spicy and juicy style of the wine.

• Risotto with mushrooms and thyme
  The earthy flavours of the mushrooms enhance the earthy notes in the wine, while the creamy texture softens the tannins.

• Lamb stew with rosemary and polenta
  The deep flavors of the stew and the spicy sauce are beautifully balanced by the fresh, fruity profile of the wine.

• Guinea fowl fillet with a red wine, cherry and bay leaf sauce
  The refined structure of the guinea fowl and the slightly sweet sauce are an excellent match for the elegant, fruit-driven style of this Vino Nobile.
