El Grasso Vino Nobile di Montepulciano D.O.C.G. Toscana
El Grasso Vino Nobile di Montepulciano D.O.C.G. Toscana
A thick floor of clay topped by a thin calcareous layer characterises the Nobile’s underworld. The clay acts as a water reserve releasing just the right amount to the vineyards. This magical environment is where the tasting palette of Sangiovese comes to life. Based on the plots’ geolocation the grapes take on a nuance of their own. Our single vineyards represent the Sangiovese tasting palette with which our Nobile is made. All vinified in the same manner, they are truly different yet can come together harmonically.

tasting notes
El Grasso is a wine that plays on the balance between freshness and opulence, moving with the syncopated rhythm of a jazz concert. On the nose, it reveals a vibrant expression of the Mediterranean maquis, where cherry, red fruits and ripe fruit intertwine with clear notes of alfalfa, while the aromatic complexity is enhanced by a subtle trace of flint, lending a deep mineral character. On the palate, the attack is fresh but evolves into a rich sip, marked by balsamic and mentholated notes that refresh the dense texture, culminating in an enveloping, long and pleasantly sweet finish.
