Food Matching Note:
Excellent with roasts and not aromatic cheeses, it can also be appreciated as a meditation wine. Serving temperature of 16-18°C is advised.
Tasting Note:
The Cecchi Vino Nobile has a very intense ruby red colour tending towards garnet with age and the aroma has a distinct perfume of violets and sweet violets. The alcohol content makes the aromatic sensation ethereal and prolonged. In the mouth, the Vino Nobile is dry, lightly tannic which hints of vanilla and is beautifully balanced with a deep structure.
Vinification Note:
The Cecchi Family have been working in Montepulciano for many years have long term contracts with their growers to allow them to have the greatest possible control over the production. The grape varieties used are Prugnolo Gentile, a clone of Sangiovese identified over 200 years ago, Canaiolo nero and Mammolo in small percentages. After fermentation there follows ageing in small and medium sized oak barrels for at least two years, before the wine is finally released.
