Avignonesi - 2022 - Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG (organic) - 750 ml.

Avignonesi Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG (organic) is a serious, estate-produced Sangiovese from Tuscany’s storied Montepulciano hills. Made from 100% Sangiovese and farmed organically, this wine represents the traditional Vino Nobile profile—red cherry and raspberry fruit at the core, a violet floral perfume, and an undercurrent of savory herbs and earthy minerality. Medium-to-full in body, the palate balances lively acidity with refined, measured tannins and oak-supported complexity that adds spice and structure without overpowering the grape’s signature elegance. The result is a wine that drinks well now for its accessible fruit and polished texture, yet also rewards short- to mid-term cellaring as those tannins and oak integrate further. This bottle is built for food: its bright acidity and structured tannins cut through rich, savory preparations—roasted lamb or braised beef, for example—while its herbal, savory notes make it an excellent match for mushroom risotto or aged cheeses like Pecorino or Parmigiano. Avignonesi’s estate approach and organic farming give the wine clarity and focus, making it a reliable expression of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG. For collectors and drinkers who appreciate classic Tuscan Sangiovese with a modern, restrained use of oak, this organic Avignonesi is a thoughtful pick, showing both immediate appeal and enough backbone to age gracefully over the next several years.
