Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG Avignonesi is a prestigious red wine produced in the Montepulciano area of Tuscany. This region is renowned for its scenic beauty and the quality of its wines, thanks to ideal soil and climate for viticulture. The production area extends over hills ranging from 250 to 600 meters above sea level, mainly facing southeast. The soil is predominantly clayey, with sand and gravel, rich in minerals. These characteristics give the wine a solid structure and good acidity, essential for its longevity. The grapes used for Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG Avignonesi are mainly Sangiovese, locally known as Prugnolo Gentile, which must constitute at least 70% of the blend. Other native Tuscan or international varieties, such as Canaiolo Nero or Mammolo, may be added. Vinification involves maceration of the grapes for at least 15-20 days at controlled temperature, followed by malolactic fermentation. Aging takes place in French oak barriques for at least 24 months, followed by further aging in the bottle for at least 6 months before release. The wine shows an intense ruby red color, tending to garnet with aging. The nose offers aromas of ripe red fruit, spices, and notes of tobacco and chocolate. On the palate, it is full, harmonious, and persistent, with soft and well-integrated tannins. This wine pairs perfectly with red meat dishes, game, aged cheeses, and traditional Tuscan dishes such as bistecca alla fiorentina. It can be enjoyed immediately but, thanks to its structure and acidity, it can also be aged for many years, further enhancing its characteristics.
