Avignonesi Vino Nobile Di Montepulciano 2022 (half bottle)
Avignonesi Vino Nobile di Montepulciano 2022 comes from one of the benchmark estates in Montepulciano. Founded in the 1970s and now fully farmed biodynamically, Avignonesi has steadily shifted toward a vineyard-first philosophy, with an emphasis on healthy soils, low yields, and transparency in the cellar. The estate works across multiple parcels in the appellation, each contributing nuance to the final blend.
The wine is based primarily on sangiovese (prugnolo gentile), the historic grape of Vino Nobile. Fermentations are carried out with careful extraction to preserve structure without overworking the fruit. Aging typically takes place in a combination of large Slavonian oak casks and neutral barrels, a choice that supports gradual development and textural refinement rather than overt oak character.
The 2022 vintage reflects this restrained approach. Rather than pushing ripeness or weight, the wine leans into balance — steady acidity, measured tannins, and a composed profile that favors structure over opulence. It’s built with food in mind and with the expectation of graceful evolution over time.
