2018 Il Macchione Vino Nobile di Montepulciano
Tuscany’s timeless elegance is on full display with the return of Il Macchione, a stunning Vino Nobile di Montepulciano that’s been absent for far too long. Crafted organically and biodynamically by the Abram brothers, this small-production gem radiates with notes of wild raspberries, black plums, brandied cherries, and a hint of white truffle.
Balancing freshness with structure, this Sangiovese-based wine invites a debate: cellar for the future or indulge now? Either choice is a triumph. Perfect alongside hearty Italian fare or savored on its own, it offers a deeply satisfying expression of Montepulciano’s historic terroir.
James Suckling
A crunchy style for this riserva, with aromas of red cherries, camphor, roses, coconut and vanilla. The palate is medium-bodied with refreshing acidity and a chalky if not dry finish. Drink now.
