| Description |
Historic vintage, the second to be included in the Top 100 selection by WineSpectator, to be precise it won the 76th position.
According to critics, this wine is ready to drink now but with possible evolutions until 2023.
Great red wine. It takes its name from Montepulciano, a Renaissance city in the province of Siena that dominates the wide and green Valdichiana from the top of a hill. The name "Nobile" seems to derive not only from its intrinsic qualities of finesse and elegance, but also from the fact that in the past the production of this wine was particularly cared for by the noble families of the city. |
| Grapes used |

Fermentation with maceration of the skins in the must for a period of 10-15 days at a temperature constantly maintained at 25-30 °C. Frequent pumping over, carried out by the cellar staff with the aid of special pumps with the utmost respect for the solid parts (marc and grape seeds). |
