Tasting note
Giacinto Lombardo's new cellar is located in the former monastery that dominates the village of Gracciano di Montepulciano. Here, his Vino Nobile di Montepulciano matures in new, large Slavonian oak barrels. Giacinto deliberately refrains from using barriques, which are now found everywhere: Well-aged Prugnolo gentile (17th century clone of Sangiovese, with which the Montepulciano vino earned the addition “Nobile” at the time) has enough tannin and an extremely rich aroma to produce authentic wine and, as such, to exist “unvarnished”. Lombardo only uses Prugnolo gentile for its Vino Nobile, leaving aside the other common Mammolo and Canaiolo varieties in order to gain clarity and sophisticated expression.
Culinary recommendation
Goes well with lamb, beef, veal, venison, pork, grilled meat.
Vinification
Angaben über Vinifizierung: Der neue Keller von Francesco Lombardo ist im ehemaligen Kloster untergebracht, welches das Dorf Gracciano di Montepulciano dominiert. Hier reift sein Vino Nobile di Montepulciano in neuen, grossen Fässern aus slavonischer Eiche. Francesco verzichtet bewusst auf Barriques, die jetzt überall ihren Einzug halten: Gut gereifter Prugnolo gentile (aus dem 17. Jahrhundert stammender Klon von Sangiovese, mit dem sich der Vino von Montepulciano damals den Zusatz "Nobile" verdient hat) bringt von sich aus genug Tannin und eine überaus reiche Aromatik mit, um authentischen Wein zu ergeben und als solcher "ungeschminkt" zu bestehen. Lombardo verwendet für seinen Vino Nobile ausschliesslich Prugnolo gentile, lässt auch die sonst noch gängigen Sorten Mammolo und Canaiolo beiseite, um dadurch an Klarheit und raffiniertem Ausdruck zu gewinnen.
