2022 Poliziano Vino Nobile di Montepulciano BIO

The nose offers beautiful notes of black fruit, plums, leather, and vanilla, both complex and broad. On the palate, this Nobile has a robust attack of black fruit, vanilla, and concentration, with some tannins afterward. This Montepulciano is delightfully elegant and fresh, juicy and crisp, with lovely cherry fruit, fine acidity, and some tannins afterward, wonderfully broad and smooth on the finish. A beautiful wine that pairs superbly with game, red meat, or some robust cheese.

Frederico Carletti, the current owner of Azienda Agricola Poliziano, is responsible for a revolutionary change. Carletti has transformed Poliziano into a true winery, producing and bottling its own wines. He moved to Piedmont to study oenology at university. He then completed internships with various wineries to gain the necessary practical experience. Then it was time to fulfill his childhood dream. Since his arrival in 1981, the company has risen rapidly.

Among his innovations 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 distinct vineyards, like Vigna Asinone. With these flagship wines, Carletti captured the hearts of wine lovers and won numerous awards at international competitions. Poliziano is now widely regarded as one of the great pioneers of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano.

WINE AND FOOD SUGGESTIONS:

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

• Grilled sausages with fennel and paprika
  The spiciness and fat of the sausages complement the mature flavors and texture of the Vino Nobile.

• Chicken cacciatore (stew with tomato, onion 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 complement the elegant, fruit-driven style of this Vino Nobile perfectly.
