WINE DESCRIPTION
Poliziano's Le Caggiole Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is a tribute to the storied winemaking traditions of Tuscany. This wine, produced by the esteemed Poliziano Winery, showcases the splendor of the Montepulciano appellation. Le Caggiole is a single-vineyard selection that offers a unique expression of the Prugnolo Gentile grape, a clone of Sangiovese. The vineyard features a mix of clay, limestone, and sandy soils, allowing for a nuanced development of flavors in the grapes. Traditional winemaking techniques are employed, including fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging in a blend of new and used oak barrels.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
As you pour, the wine displays a radiant ruby red hue that sets the stage for its multifaceted profile.The nose bursts with a vibrant bouquet of red cherries, fresh raspberries, and hints of violet, underpinned by subtle layers of leather, tobacco, and exotic spices. On the palate, the wine is nothing short of elegant. Flavors of tart red fruits coalesce beautifully with notes of anise, earth, and a whisper of smoky cedar. The wine's structure is impressive, with firm but approachable tannins and a perfectly balanced acidity that animates the flavors. The finish is long, clean, and tinged with a delightful minerality. Poliziano's Le Caggiole is a graceful, nuanced embodiment of what Vino Nobile di Montepulciano can achieve.
