Podere Il Macchione Vino Nobile di Montepulciano 2016

You need more Montepulciano in your life! At often HALF the price of the showier big names of Brunello di Montalcino, the Sangiovese-based wines from the Montepulciano are equally as impressive and ageworthy. Montelpulciano is a beautiful medieval village perched on the top of a hill, first founded as a castle in the 8th century. The ever important Vino Nobile di Montepulciano (Sangiovese) is the ORIGINAL in the region, famous and regal long before Brunello came into favor.

Today’s wine is all class with Sangiovese’s signature cherry and floral top notes with power and resonance in the bass. It’s a big warm Tuscan hug of dark cherry, anise and hints of leather. This is a stunning wine from start to finish, a staggering value and a wine you will not regret owning A LOT of.
