“The 2019 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Vigna 'Scianello opens with an airy freshness, blending earth tones and savory herbs with vivid black cherry and pine shavings. This is velvety in texture yet lifted and refined, with fleshy red berries and mineral tones excited by juicy acidity. A web of fine-grained tannins defines the finale, clamping down hard, yet through it all, the 2019 maintains energy and a core of primary fruit to balance. The Vigna 'Scianello is exciting to taste, yet a bit patience is a must.”
