Avignonesi Vino Nobile Late Release 2015

Bottle notes

Made from Sangiovese grapes, this wine expresses the characteristics of its terroir in a balanced and harmonious way. Medium bodied, with smooth and well-integrated tannins, it offers an elegant and distinctive flavour profile. After ten years of ageing, it now shows perfect maturity, with fully developed complexity and harmony.

For the label, Avignonesi and Bonvini 1909 present a project by Carlo Stanga, who reimagines Le Capezzine, a symbolic site of Avignonesi and a historic model farm. A great vine, symbol of life and deep roots, intertwines with figures and objects of rural tradition and viticulture. Around it, the estate’s hills and buildings, with Montepulciano in the background, evoke the bond between nature, human labor, and wine. A poetic image that celebrates Vino Nobile di Montepulciano as the fruit of harmony between land, history, and community.

Composed of 100% Sangiovese grown on sedimentary soils of marine origins, calcareous with variable quantities of clay and sand from the Pleistocene (3 million – 120,000 years ago) at Le Capezzine, Lodolaand Matracchio, from the Pliocene (3-5 million years ago) at I Poggetti, Le Badelle,Banditella and El Grasso. The vines are between 11 and 37 years old. The vines are bush-trained, guyot and cordon-trained at an altitude of 270 – 375 metres.

The grapes for the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano 2015 were picked from the 10th to 28th of September. The fermentation was spontaneous. Alcoholic fermentation and maceration on the skins lasted up to 30 days, depending on the individual lots. The wine then spent 18 months in large oak casks and barriques.
