Vinoteka's note
Named after Prugnolo Gentile, Montepulciano's own clone of Sangiovese, with a little Mammolo, spontaneously fermented in steel and rested in concrete. Brilliant ruby; a fresh, floral bouquet of iris, violets, plums, blueberries and briar rose; fragrant and pure Sangiovese on the palate. Serve at 14–16 °C with pasta, risotto, salumi or light meats; drink within 2–4 years.
