Lombardo Vino Nobile di Montepulciano 2018

Sangiovese Blends | Italy

WE91, JS91

$19.95 $28.00 - 750mL

Sangiovese at this level (from the incredibly picturesque town of Montepulciano) just takes us right back to the rolling hills of Tuscany. So aromatic, so flowery, with tobacco and cedar, it’s perfectly fresh and deeply satisfying with pure flavors of red cherry and grilled herbs. This is a truly amazing deal and it won't last long!

PAIRING IDEAS: Pasta, of course! Pici is the local pasta, if you can find it or make it, rock on. Any pasta will work, really, with a tomato/garlic sauce, also typical of the region. Enjoy!

MUSIC SUGGESTIONS: It’s gotta be Julius La Rosa -- “Eh Cumpari”! Right? Put it on repeat.

About The Producer

Located in the heart of Montepulciano (man, this is a picturesque village), Lombardo was founded in 1972 by Antonino Lombardo, where today Antonio’s sons, Giacinto and Francesco, are responsible for continuing their father’s dream of producing memorable wines that respect the superb region they come from. Lombardo is composed of about 35 hectares of vineyards, with the vast majority planted in Sangiovese (Prugnolo Gentile). The plants are divided into various vineyards located in Caggiole, Confino, S.Polo and Gracciano, where the company is also based. The soil of Caggiole is full of sandstone (tufo) - perfect for producing elegant non-tannic wines. Confino and Gracciano are rich in clay soil, producing very powerful and tannic wines.

Reviews

Wine Enthusiast
Made entirely with Sangiovese, this has alluring aromas of wild violet, woodland berry, new leather and sandalwood. It's smooth and full bodied, featuring juicy Marasca cherry, cranberry, exotic spice and crushed herb framed in firm, fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity. Drink through 2024

James Suckling
Aromas of blackberries, cherries, walnuts, incense, spice box and earth. It’s medium-to full-bodied with chewy tannins and lively acidity. Structured and serious. Try from 2023.
