Poliziano’s flagship Vino Nobile, Asinone, is renowned not only for its remarkable complexity and depth, but also for its consistency over the past 15-plus years. The 2012 is a muscular wine, massively structured yet beautifully balanced, with notes of black cherry and spice and the firmness of acidity necessary to carry it over time. Enjoyable now, but crying out for additional cellar age.
