Oceano
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.
Opulent and voluptuous, Oceano impresses for its power and charisma and enchants for its great intensity. The nose stands out for its rich and complex bouquet: floral notes of violet and rose intertwine with hints of black cherry and sweet spices. On the palate Ocean overwhelms you with a wave of sweetness, where the aromas of ripe fruit integrate with the notes of undergrowth and culminate in a long and persistent finish.

The sediments you might find in this wine show that it is made of pure Sangiovese with minimal intervention. The deposit is due to its high content of a natural antioxidant called quercetin, which is perfectly safe. This is not a flaw, it is a characteristic of the pure Sangiovese.
