70% new oak, 30% second fill. Open, fresh black cherry. Long, maturing tannins give attractive mouthfeel. High acid and warm but controlled alcohol that gives richness. (RH)

The estate's single-vineyard 2006 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Asinone is sweet, round and harmonious. The wine possesses lovely depth and volume in a full-bodied yet approachable style. Tar, smoke, licorice and earthiness linger on the long finish.

Tar, smoke, licorice and earthiness linger on the long finish. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2020. This is a terrific set of wines from one of the reference points in Montepulciano.
