Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva DOCG - Poggio alla Sala

The Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva from Poggio alla Sala in Tuscany offers a bright, ruby red color in the glass. If you hold the glass at a slight angle, you can see a transition in color towards garnet red at the edges of this barrel-aged wine. After the first swirl, you can perceive a first-class balance in this red wine, as it is neither watery nor syrupy or liqueur-like on the walls of the glass. Poured into a Bordeaux glass, this red wine from the Old World reveals wonderfully expressive aromas of plum, black cherry, morello cherry and damson, rounded off with dark chocolate, black tea and gingerbread spice, which are contributed by the ageing in wooden barrels.

This Italian wine impresses with its elegantly dry taste. It was bottled with just 1.5 grams of residual sugar. As you would expect from a premium and single-vineyard wine, this Italian wine naturally delights with the finest balance despite its dryness. Excellent taste does not necessarily need residual sugar. The texture of this well-balanced red wine is wonderfully creamy and dense on the palate. Thanks to its lively fruit acidity, the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva is wonderfully fresh and lively on the palate. The finish of this very mature red wine from the Tuscany wine-growing region, more precisely from Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG, ultimately delights with a remarkable finish.
