Wine Spectator
Emits phenomenal aromas of crushed berries, roses, lilacs and currants. Full-bodied, with an incredible backbone of ultrafine tannins and a long, fruity finish. Not big and thick, but powerful and subtle. A very special wine indeed; the greatest Vino Nobile ever made. Hard not to drink it now. Best after 2005.

Dark ruby-garnet. Amazing aromas of crushed raspberry and blueberry. So aromatic. Like kir. Full-bodied, with silky, almost chewy tannins and a long, long finish. Just starting to come around. Port-like and beautiful. This was our No. 4 wine in 2001. Still the greatest Vino Nobile ever made.--1997 Italian blind retrospective.
 

Additional Information

Region :
Italy
As the world’s top wine-exporter, Italy is an important wine region both because of the amount and quality of wines produced. Just two grapes—Nebbiolo and Sangiovese—are used to make some of the finest Italian wines, including Barolo, Brunello de Montalcino and Chianti. Still, Italy is home to dozens of wine grape varieties, with important wines being made from Corvina, Barbera, Cortese, Moscato and traditionally French varietals. The major wine regions include Piedmont, Tuscany, Emilia-Romagna, Veneto, Campania and others. Most producers follow the government-regulated DOC classification system, with a few notable exceptions including the esteemed “Super Tuscan” producers. View all our items from Italy
