Contucci

2021 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG

"Underbrush, iris, new leather and dark-skinned fruit aromas form the enticing nose on the fragrant 2020 Palazzo Contucci along with spicy notes. A blend of 80% Sangiovese locally called Prugnolo Gentile, 10% Canaiolo Nero and 10% Colorino and made with the best grapes from the Pietra Rossa and Mulinvecchio vineyards, the savory palate blends structure and finesse, delivering juicy black plum, cherry compote, star anise and cake spice before finishing on a truffle note. Tightly woven, fine-grained tannins provide support while fresh acidity keeps it balanced. Drink 2027–2035." -Kerin O'Keefe, July 2025, ©kerinokeefe.com
