Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG 2020
Trade Tools
Italy / Toscana
At Tuscany’s southwest edge, due south of Arezzo, lies the Montepulciano region, where Torcalvano is located. At 300 meters in elevation, the soil at Torcalvano is rich in clay, and slightly skeletal. High vine density, low average yields and later October harvests combine to produce grapes with concentration, complexity and a mature, balanced ripeness. The wine is fermented at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks and undergoes maceration on the skins to give it a rich color. It is matured in traditional large oak casks and in bottle before release.
Harvest Note
The 2020 wine harvest in Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG was marked by a warm and dry growing season, with occasional summer rains providing balance and preventing excessive water stress. The grapes achieved excellent ripeness and concentration, leading to wines with deep color, refined tannins, and vibrant acidity. Winemakers expect the 2020 vintage to be well-structured and elegant, with strong aging potential and expressive aromatic complexity.
Tasting Note
This wine, noble in name and in essence, expresses delicate, floral, feminine and very sophisticated aromas. On the palate it is balanced and elegant, with a fresh and velvety tannic finish.
