Avignonesi - Rosso Di Montepulciano Prugnolo Gentile Italie, 2022

Avignonesi’s Rosso di Montepulciano Prugnolo Gentile 2022 is a vibrant expression of one of Tuscany’s most historic native grapes, offering fresh drinkability with the refinement you expect from a leading Montepulciano producer. Made from Prugnolo Gentile, the local clone of Sangiovese that defines the appellation, it captures the region’s elegant, food-friendly style in a lively, modern way.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a bright ruby-red color with youthful clarity. The nose leans toward fresh red cherries, wild berries, violet, and subtle herbal and earthy notes, with a delicate spice accent in the background. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and supple, with juicy red fruit, lively acidity, and fine tannins that give the wine shape without heaviness. The finish is clean and balanced, making it enjoyable now, while the structure suggests it can develop additional nuance over the next few years.

Production
Rosso di Montepulciano comes from the Montepulciano zone in Tuscany, where clay-limestone soils and a warm but temperate climate help Prugnolo Gentile retain freshness and aromatic lift. The style is typically based on careful vineyard selection and harvest at optimal ripeness, followed by traditional red-wine vinification with gentle extraction to preserve the grape’s bright fruit and elegant tannins.

Food & Serving
This is a versatile food wine, excellent with pasta dishes, tomato-based sauces, roasted chicken, grilled vegetables, charcuterie, and mild to medium-aged cheeses. Serve it slightly cool, around 16–18°C, and decant briefly if desired to let the aromas open up.
