Valdipiatta Vino Nobile di Montepulciano 2016
Made with Sangiovese and 5% Canaiolo Nero, this has enticing aromas of wild berry, fragrant purple flower, exotic spice and a whiff of new leather. It's bright and smooth, offering juicy wild cherry, ripe strawberry and baking spice while taut fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity lend balance. Drink 2020-2028. Editors' Choice. Score - 92.
