Poliziano Rosso di Montepulciano 2022 (750 ml)

Poliziano's Rosso di Montepulciano is a vibrant and approachable wine that beautifully showcases the winemaking prowess of the Poliziano estate, situated in the heart of Tuscany near the historic town of Montepulciano. This wine serves as a more accessible, youthful counterpart to the estate's esteemed Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, crafted with the intention of offering a fresher, more immediate expression of the region's terroir. Made predominantly from Sangiovese grapes, locally known as Prugnolo Gentile, along with a small percentage of other complementary varieties, the Rosso di Montepulciano benefits from the same meticulous vineyard management and winemaking philosophy that Poliziano applies to all its wines. The focus is on highlighting the varietal's natural fruit characteristics, supported by a brief aging period in oak to enhance complexity without overwhelming the wine's youthful charm.

In the glass, Poliziano's Rosso di Montepulciano exhibits a bright ruby color and exudes aromas of fresh red berries, cherries, and hints of violets, underscored by a subtle earthiness and spice notes, reflecting the wine's brief encounter with oak. On the palate, it presents a lively acidity and soft tannins that frame the vibrant fruit flavors beautifully, leading to a medium-bodied and harmoniously balanced profile. The finish is pleasantly smooth, making it an exceedingly versatile wine that pairs delightfully with a wide array of dishes. From classic Italian pastas and pizza to more sophisticated fare such as grilled meats and aged cheeses, this Rosso di Montepulciano is designed to complement a broad spectrum of culinary styles, embodying the essence of Tuscan hospitality and the joy of sharing good wine and food. Its approachability and expressive character make it a favorite among those seeking to explore the nuances of Montepulciano's wine landscape, offering a taste of Poliziano's craftsmanship in a format that invites immediate enjoyment.
