Step into the world of Contucci Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG, a wine that embodies centuries of winemaking tradition and the rich terroir of Tuscany.

Crafted by the reputable and historic Contucci family, whose winemaking roots trace back to the Renaissance, this wine is a testament to their unwavering commitment to quality and authenticity.

Nestled in the rolling hills of Montepulciano, the vineyards benefit from a unique microclimate and mineral-rich soils, ideal for cultivating the Prugnolo Gentile (Sangiovese) grape. The wine is aged in traditional oak barrels to enhance its complexity and structure.

Its deep ruby red color with garnet reflections leads to an expressive bouquet of aromas, featuring dark red fruits, tobacco, and leather. On the palate, it is full-bodied, well-balanced, offering concentrated flavors of cherry, plum, and a hint of earthiness. The finish is savory with lifted acidity and firm, velvety tannins.

This versatile Tuscan treasure pairs beautifully with a range of dishes including red meats, poultry, aged cheeses, game, rich pastas or hearty stews.
