Poliziano Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Asinone
About this product
The reference wine of the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano appellation — from Poliziano's Asinone single vineyard at 350m on red clay (tufo) soils. 100% Prugnolo Gentile (the local Sangiovese clone); 24 months large oak plus 12 months bottle. Dense ruby; dark cherry, dried rose, tobacco, leather, mineral. Structured and austere in youth, it rewards a decade of cellaring.
