2021 Palazzo Vecchio Rosso di Montepulciano DOC 'Dogana'

80% Prugnolo Gentile (aka Sangiovese), 10% Canaiolo Nero, 10% Mammolo. Fermented in steel and aged for eight months in French oak. Enticing floral, woodland berry, new leather and tilled soil aromas come together in this stunning red. Vibrant and elegant, the linear palate delivers wild cherry, red raspberry, cinnamon and clove notes, framed by firm, refined tannins and vibrant acidity. The youthful tension is pleasant, but give it time to develop even more complexity. Often overlooked in nfavor of its more famous neighbor to the west, Montalcino, Montepulciano tends to provide wines that overdeliver for the price and drink well a little younger than Brunello. This particular bottling is always one of our favorite Sangioveses for the price point!
