Vino Nobile di Montepulciano

Full

Natural Cork

First produced in 1983 but discontinued in the mid-1990s, Le Caggiole was revived again in 2015 after being replanted exclusively to Sangiovese. While Poliziano’s Asinone hails from silty clay soil, Le Caggiole is predominantly marine sands and is the lighter, more fragrant wine of the estate’s single-vineyard bottlings. Nevertheless, there is plenty of fruit concentration, ripeness and a bit of heat in the 2017. It comes into focus with liquorice, black cherry, truffle and nutty nuances, offering tangy acidity and a saline twist. The fine, sandy tannins are yielding, making this friendly and accessible.
