DEI 2020 Nobile di Montepulciano

The 2020 Dei Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is a wine that perfectly embodies Caterina Dei’s style: effortless elegance, played more on finesse than muscular power. The 2020 vintage was balanced, giving wines with a beautiful aromatic component and vibrant freshness.

Here is the detailed description:

Sensory Profile

• Nose: This is extremely clean and varietal. Floral notes of violet and rose dominate, followed by crisp red fruit such as morello cherry and currant. With oxygenation, mineral nuances and a light touch of blond tobacco emerge.

• Palate: The sip is characterized by great drinkability. The tannins are thick but velvety, integrated into a medium-bodied structure that never weighs down the palate. The acidity is well present and gives the wine a very pleasant vertical thrust.

• Finish: Closes with a savory note and a lingering fruity return, typical of the sand- and clay-rich soils of the Martiena area.

Technical Details.

• Grapes: Mainly 90% Sangiovese (Prugnolo Gentile), with a balance of Canaiolo Nero (10%).

• Aging: Matures for 24 months in large Slavonian oak barrels. This choice is essential to maintain the “traditional” wine profile and not overpowered by wood.

• Alcohol content: Usually around 14% to 14.5% vol.

Service Tips

• Temperature: 18°C.

• Pairing: This is the ideal wine for territorial cuisine: Pici with duck ragout, medium-aged cheeses or a classic Chianina steak that is not too fatty.

It is a vintage that drinks beautifully even now, in 2026, but still has several years of evolution ahead of it. Are you considering it for a gift or for your personal collection?
