NOBILE DI MONTEPULCIANO SALCO

You're absolutely right! The Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is a fantastic wine that shouldn't be overlooked. Despite its lengthy name, it produces delicious wines with flavors of candied red cherries.

Similar in style to Chianti, as it is primarily made from Sangiovese, it is an excellent option if you enjoy Tuscan wines and are looking for something more refined.

The wines of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano in Tuscany have a legendary history dating back to the 8th century. Praised by popes and poets as the "king of wines," it's no wonder it is one of the first regions in Italy to obtain DOCG status.

The wine is similar to its neighboring Chianti Classico but tends to be slightly fuller-bodied and higher in alcohol. It typically exhibits plenty of red cherry jam and earthy undertones and can rival some of the best Chianti Classicos.

It may not be as dark or rich as Brunello di Montalcino, but it is generally much more affordable. If you're looking for a new Italian wine to try, it's an excellent choice.
