Located in a historic area for the production of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, known for its particularly ideal conditions, Calimaia is found in the gentle hills between the Val di Chiana and the Val d'Orcia. The winery itself is situated on a hill encircled by vineyards. Located at 300 metres above sea level, they enjoy different exposures and soil types, providing the best setting for each grape variety.
The 2019 Tenuta Calimaia Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is an intense ruby-red colour. The complex bouquet blends
notes of red fruits, especially cherry, sour cherry and black cherry, with hints of aromatic herbs, including sage and
lavender. The spicy notes, reminiscent of cocoa beans, are particularly intriguing. At the first sip, it is full-bodied and
energetic. Notes of red fruits continue to dominate; the freshness and acidity evoke hints of raspberry and currant. The
spicy notes envelop the palate. Good persistence. Young, fresh and silky tannins.
