WS TOP 💯 DEI MONTEPULCIANO
Declared “one of the headline wineries in Montepulciano” by the Wine Advocate’s Monica Larner, B-21 fans and collectors of rich
Tuscan reds won’t need convincing to stock up on the enticing 93 pt. 2019 Dei Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, a powerful Sangiovese
revealing bright, aromatic red fruit hinting of wild herbs and earthy spice with a smooth, enduring finish, earning a coveted spot
on this year's Wine Spectator’s Top 100 of 2023 and an outstanding value promising pleasurable drinking for years to come.
Situated in the spectacular countryside southeast of Siena in Tuscany’s oldest appellation, Cantine Dei produces terroir-driven
Sangiovese from the vineyards surrounding the medieval town of Montepulciano, its 2019 Vino Nobile awarded the top rating of Tre
Bicchieri or “three glasses” by Italy’s most prestigious wine publication Gambero Rosso, known by insiders as the “Wine Bible of
Italy.” Producing its first wines in 1985 and run by third generation Caterina Dei since 1991, the Cantine Dei estate extends over
100 hectares in the rolling hills of the historic Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG, its 60 hectares of organically farmed
vineyards located throughout the region and reflecting its diverse terroir. Sourced from the estate’s Martiena, La Ciarliana and
Cervognano vineyards, the Sangiovese vines for the 2019 Vino Nobile are planted in a mix of tuff, limestone and sandy clay soils
at 250 to 350 meters above sea level, the high-altitude vineyards producing richly concentrated fruit with well balanced acidity.
A blend of mostly Sangiovese fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts, the lush 2019 Dei Vino di Montepulciano was aged
for 18 months in large Slavonian oak casks followed by over 8 months in bottle, yielding “a skillful interpretation of terroir and
vintage” according to Decanter’s Michaela Morris with richly textured fruit and layers of well-integrated tannins promising
longevity.
Ranked among an elite group of 2019’s top scoring Vino Nobiles from a region “that should be on everyone’s radar” according to the
Wine Enthusiast’s Kerin O’Keefe, the rich and elegant 93 pt. 2019 Dei Vino Nobile di Montepulciano “continues to be one of the
benchmarks in its category and an amazing value as well” according to Vinous critic Eric Guido, matching in quality to its higher
profile Tuscan neighbors at a bargain price and a sure bet for lovers of bold Sangiovese wines seeking an outstanding value to
enjoy whenever a taste of Tuscany calls.
