Poliziano Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG 2021

James Suckling

A modern Vino Nobile with dark chocolate and some plush spices. Aromas of plums, roasted red peppers, berries and pine cones follow through to a tight, medium- to full-bodied palate. This is firm and long. From organically grown grapes.

Medium ruby red in colour with purple highlights. Aromatics of violet, hyacinth and and distant lavender. Dark red cherry, plum, blackcurrant and boysenberry, toasted almond, blonde tobacco, oaky vanilla, mellow spice with a whiff of white smoke. Silky smooth warm entry, soft curves, rich, agile and juicy. Tight solid core of salty acidity, that drives the energy. Compact fine tannins. Linear. Persistent with a long finish.

Strawberries, red prunes, orange juice, lemon blossom and wisteria describe the primary scene of this Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. Medium bodied, light tannins and an optimum, classic finish.

Intravino

Boisterous and intense but also of beautiful and fragrant finesse, an important and rich sip that does not forget the levity.

Natalie Maclean

Smoky and opulent, full-bodied 85% Sangiovese, 5% Canaiolo, 5% Colorino and 5% Merlot red wine blend fragrant with blueberry, mulberry, dark plum, dried herbs and dark chocolate flavours fresh on the palate with vibrant acidity. Tannins are textured and grippy. Pour with your favourite lamb ragu or meaty stew.

Robert Parker

The Poliziano house style is very distinctive, and thise is one of the wines you can immediately recognize in a blind tasting, thanks to the soft extraction and sweet oak tannins obtained with up to 16 months of aging (in a combination of barrique, tonneaux and botte grande). Indeed, the wine flaunts a modern flavor profile with creamy dark fruit, baking chocolate and cinnamon spice over a full-bodied style.

Wine Spectator

This red offers an inviting expression of cherry, raspberry, floral, mineral and spice flavors. Pure, with a firm backbone of tannins, vibrant acidity and a lingering, fruity aftertaste. Sangiovese, Colorino, Canaiolo and Merlot. Best from 2025 through 2040. 16,666 cases made, 2,500 cases imported.

James Suckling

Ripe, luminous red berries with fine spices and a hint of crushed-stone minerality. Medium to full body on the palate with fine herbs, citrus and berries all wrapped by fine, crumbled tannins. Delicious now.

Vinous

The 2020 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is dark and rich in the glass. Camphor and pine hints lift a burst of cherry and plum sauce. This is silky-smooth and elegant, with cooling minerality and crisp red fruits that cascade throughout. It finishes long and staining with a spicy twang and gently grippy tannins, punctuating the experience well. Poliziano has captured the ripeness of the vintage in a beautifully balanced manner. This is terrific.
