Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG 2017 Poliziano

It is to the prugnolo gentile grapes that characterize the Montepulciano area that Poliziano is given the most attentive care so that they express all the potential of a territory with a recognized wine-growing vocation. The result is a structured, long-lived Vino Nobile di Montepulciano with intense but not unnecessarily caricatured aromas, which faithfully express its profoundly Tuscan origins and the ancient link between land, man and culture. A Vino Nobile faithful to tradition.

• Features: The aromas are intense with marked notes of blackberries, plums, sour cherries and hints of spices and tobacco. On the palate it is structured, velvety, enveloping and supported by an elegant freshness.
• Advice and pairings: To enjoy it at its best, we advise you to let the wine 'breathe' at least 15 -30 minutes before serving it. Wine throughout the meal, it goes well with rich typical dishes of the Tuscan tradition. Excellent with a plate of tagliatelle with hare ragù.

Poliziano Cellar History

Poliziano was born in 1961 when Dino Carletti buys the first nucleus of 22 hectares driven by a romantic and passionate vision for his native land. The company has grown over the years to reach the current 170 hectares all planted with vineyards. Its name is a tribute to the humanist and poet Angelo Ambrogini (1454-1494), known as the "Poliziano". Federico Carletti, Dino's son, after completing his agricultural studies, took over the company management in 1980. He immediately made a professional and philosophical breakthrough by studying and working only proprietary grapes (“Estate Winery”). Concentrated on quality viticulture, modern but respectful of the environment and tradition, he immediately obtains a Vino Nobile of great depth and quality from the high-density vineyards. Federico in pursuing quality and excellence in his wines has always renewed the techniques both in the countryside and in the cellar. International varieties were planted in the 1990s, but at the same time the local variety par excellence, Sangiovese, which in the Montepulciano area is known by the name of "Prugnolo Gentile", was studied and exalted. Strengthened by the great knowledge of the potential of the Montepulciano area, Federico, for almost twenty years now, has concentrated on the maximum exaltation and expression of the same in his wines; letting typicality and naturalness express themselves. This is why he dedicated himself to the production of highly renowned "crus". The family passion for wine and the territory continues with Francesco and Maria Stella, who today act as Federico's fundamental advisers to interpret and face current and future challenges.
