Tiberini Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Cru ‘Vigne Vecchie’ Docg 2017 Song: La Traviata / Act 1: Libiamo ne’lieti Calici by Giuseppe Verdi ft Luciano Pavarotti. The story of the Tiberini family, former sharecroppers who have achieved to buy the farm after decades of hard labor, is a summary of the economy and culture of the 20th century in Tuscany. Located in one of the best areas of Montepulciano, the 5th, 6th and 7th generations of Tiberini produce a traditional Vino Nobile, that reflects the legacy of the family and the terroir where it’s produced. This is one of the 3 single-vineyards of the winery and it is made with vines planted in the year 1918, more than a 100 years old! The result is an extraordinary concentrated and powerful wine. The Old Vines give an incredible result despite the challenging 2017 vintage, during which they have overcome the frost of April and the drought of the Summer, thanks to the deep roots developed in the last century. The wine presents itself like and impeccably carved Carrara Marble statue by a Renaissance artist. The bouquet is almost mystical, of extraordinary complexity with notes of ink, graphite, pomegranate, candied orange peel, black currants, licorice, leather, tobacco, cocoa and a balsamic touch of balm. Palate is luscious and succulent, with a surprisingly refreshing taste of currants and a majestic tannin with infinite persistence having an aftertaste of Jasmine tea and mushroom. 90% Sangiovese, 5% Mammolo, 5% Canaiolo. Drink Through: 2023-2030. Open 4h before.
