The Vino Nobile of Tuscany’s Montepulciano district is one of the unsung heroes of Italian red wine, overshadowed as it is most of the time by the greatness of the Brunellos from neighboring Montalcino. This was an exceptional vintage in Tuscany and Tenuta TorCalvano’s expression of the vintage resulted in a beautifully balanced, intensely flavored Vino Nobile that is enjoyable now but will be even better in five to seven years. Platinum award winner at the 2015 Critics Challenge International Wine Competition.
