2021 Poliziano Vino Nobile di Montepulciano from Tuscany is a refined expression of Sangiovese (locally known as Prugnolo Gentile), showing a classic balance of fruit, earth and spice. The nose is elegant and complex, with aromas of dark cherry, plum and blackberry, layered with rose petals, dried herbs and subtle earthy notes. Hints of pepper, leather and spice add further depth, giving the wine a distinctly traditional yet polished profile .
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is exactly the kind of wine we position as a "classic Tuscan Sangiovese with structure and value". It sits stylistically between Chianti Classico and Brunello - more serious and structured than Chianti, but more approachable and better value than Brunello. This is a great recommendation for customers who enjoy Sangiovese, Barolo or earthy, savoury reds, especially those looking to explore Italy beyond the obvious labels. Perfect with pasta with ragu, grilled meats or aged cheeses, and will drink well now with decanting or over the next 8–12 years.
