Why shop with us?
Avignonesi Vino Nobile 1988 is a beautifully matured Tuscan red that showcases the elegance and depth of 100% Sangiovese. After more than three decades of aging, it offers a rare chance to enjoy a historic vintage at full development, with the signature refinement that has made Vino Nobile one of Tuscany’s most admired wine styles.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, this wine shows the graceful maturity expected from a long-aged Sangiovese, with a refined ruby garnet color and subtle brick-like tones at the rim. The bouquet opens with ripe red fruits, layered spices, and a distinct touch of tobacco, giving way to earthy, savory nuances with air.
On the palate it is full-bodied and complex, with a harmonious balance between fruit, tannin, and acidity that speaks to both the vintage and the quality of the producer. The finish is long, elegant, and persistent. While already beautifully evolved, it still has the structure to hold a little longer in ideal cellar conditions.
Production
Produced in Tuscany from 100% Sangiovese, this Vino Nobile reflects the character of one of Italy’s classic wine regions, where hillside vineyards and well-drained soils help bring out the grape’s finesse and natural structure. The 1988 vintage has benefited from extensive bottle aging, allowing the wine to develop complexity, softness, and aromatic depth over time.
Food & Serving
This mature red pairs beautifully with roasted or grilled red meats, game, and richly flavored dishes, as well as well-aged cheeses. Serve at 18–20°C, and decant gently if needed to remove sediment and help the aromas open up.
Producer

Based in the Montepulciano area, the estate has long been associated with high-quality Vino Nobile and has earned a strong reputation among collectors and enthusiasts for its expressive Sangiovese wines.
