The Sangiovese Tales

Vino Nobile di Montepulciano D.O.C.G. Vintage Release

Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Late Release 2016, made from 100% Sangiovese, is the same wine bottled almost a decade ago and preserved in the Avignonesi cellars to observe its evolution over time. Today, it fully expresses the depth, tension and potential of the 2016 vintage. For this edition, Avignonesi and Bonvini 1909 invited Atelier Bingo to create a new visual identity inspired by Le Capezzine, the Tuscan landscape and the rhythms of nature. 2016 also marks an important milestone: it was Avignonesi’s first certified organic Vino Nobile di Montepulciano.

2016 vintage

2016 was marked by abundant spring rainfall and occasional summer storms, followed by a gradual return to dry and sunny conditions that allowed the grapes to ripen slowly and evenly. A cool, breezy end to the season brought Sangiovese to full maturity, resulting in wines of remarkable depth, tension and ageing potential. Almost ten years later, the 2016 vintage continues to confirm the promise it showed from the beginning.

tasting notes

Vino Nobile 2016 shows garnet-red reflections with warm orange hues. The nose reveals ripe red fruits, sour cherry and dried plum, evolving into Mediterranean notes of undergrowth and candied orange, with umami nuances and hints of liquorice and cocoa. The palate opens warm and soft, then unfolds with fine balance, supported by silky tannins, great drinkability and a long, persistent finish.
