Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Poliziano 2020

This red D.O.C.G wine is obtained from the Prugnolo Gentili grape, which is a clone on Sangiovese, Canaiolo Nero and Mammolo, grown on vines with the best exposure that enjoy an excellent climate. Great care is shown during the wine-making process and the subsequent refinement (two years in oak barrels and then several months in bottles) because these grapes express all the potential of Montepulciano. The wine is a grainy red colour with n orangey reflection. It has a strong, fine bouquet with a hint of sweet violets and red fruit, a robust body, and a dry taste with light tannins. Contains sulphites. Produced by Carletti Poliziano - Via Fontago, 1 - 53045, Montepulciano Stazione (Siena) - Italy.

The producer

Dott. Federico Carletti's rural company is situated at Montepulciano Stazione, in the heart of the area with the same name. It is considered a point of reference for all the wine-makers in the region. The approximate 100 acres of vineyards owned by the company are situated in a particularly favourable position that varies between 280 and 440 meters above sea-level. Grapes of the very best quality for the production of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, and other great, traditional wines such as Vin Santo, are cultivated using a simple, older version of the Guyot system. Particular attention in paid not only to the grapevines, but also to the wine-making process and subsequent ageing, with full respect for older traditions, but also making use of the best of modern technology.
