Ventisei Vino Nobile 2016
Variety:
Red
|
Merlot (10%), Sangiovese (90%)
Winery: Avignonesi
Region:
Tuscany,
Italy
Maker's Notes - The Nobile is the most representative of our terroir. Here the main star is the Sangiovese which in Italian means “Jupiter’s Blood”. A wine for the Gods. Spontaneously fermented, the Blood of Jupiter naturally deserves our greatest attention, which is why we age the grapes from every single plot separately for 18 months in oak barrels and large casks. Luscious and majestic, Nobile enchants you with its fragrant mulberry notes and delicate cinnamon hints, making you feel like an Olympian.
Jeremy's Notes - This wine has a special smoothness and elegance that evokes simple luxury. It is not bold or super-concentrated but rather palate-caressing and silky. This pairs well with most food but is an outstanding no-food sipper and we all need those.

Tuscany, Italy
Tuscany is Italy’s third most planted wine region. Throughout the district, which includes such acclaimed vicinities as Chianti and Montalcino, a variety of grapes have come to be grown. International varieties include Cabernet Sauvignon; Cabernet Franc; Chardonnay; Merlot; Pinot Noir; Sauvignon Blanc; and Syrah, however the signature grape of the region is Italy’s own Sangiovese.
The terrain is quite hilly as it gradually undulates toward the Apennine Mountains. The Sangiovese grape performs best under direct sunlight. For this reason, many Tuscan vineyards are located on hillsides, allowing for as much unimpeded light as possible. The higher elevation of most of the vineyards also increases their daily temperature variations, thereby helping the grapes to obtain optimal harmony of sugars, acidity, and aromatics.
