Tasting notes
The 2005 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Asinone is brighter, fresher and more energetic than the 2006. This focused, vibrant red offers plenty of floral red fruit intermingled with tobacco, licorice and new leather. Today the wine comes across as needing a few years in bottle, but this is a wonderful version of one of Montepulciano's elite bottlings.
