Tenuta Valdipiatta 2005 Vigna d'Alfiero Prugnolo Gentile (Vino Nobile di Montepulciano)

Oak notes of toast, cigar box, cedar and smoke take center stage and leave the fruity tones on the far perimeter. The wine delivers a dark, brooding character with bright acidity and zesty, citrus flavors that work well with the wine’s natural acidity. Founded in 1973, this estate has an Etruscan-inspired cellar carved deep into the side of a hill.
