Tasting Notes: An extremely floral wine focused on fresh violets and irises with a touch of rosewater. Medium-bodied on the palate, with supple fruit, graceful tannins and notes of red cherries and pomegranates. A tight, ripe finish that’s a bit chalky. Drink now.

Tasting Notes: The 2021 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Poggio Stella is dark and moody in the glass, mixing plum and blackberry aromas under an air of cedary spice and sage notes. This is silky smooth with depths of ripe wild berry fruits that ride a wave of brisk acidity. It tapers off tactile, long and just gently tannic, leaving nuances of tart blackberry and a tinge of sour citrus.
