Grape Variety: Prugnolo Gentile

Colour: Red

One of many synonyms of Sangiovese or, to be more precise, the Prugnolo (plummy) and Gentile (local name for Sangiovese), this one being the local name used in the town of Montepulciano. The great wines of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano can be some of the better examples of Sangiovese in the world and can take well to extensive bottle aging.

Innocente Vino Nobile is ruby red in colour tending towards garnet with age. It is a dense, spicy wine with cinnamon, plums and tea flavours finishing dry and slightly tannic with a delicate scent of violets. Perfect with steak, preferably bistecca alla fiorentina, grilled with olive oil and salt. The Riserva version is almost mahogany in colour with flavours of cooked fruits and dried tobacco secondary aromas.
