VINO NOBILE AND FAMOUS PERSONALITIES
Luigi Veronelli
Publisher and journalist
My first organoleptic examination of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano dates back to the seventies: the colour ruby tending to orange with aging, brilliant, winey aroma, with softness, tending to a delicate bouquet in which violets dominate; a dry taste with a bitter aftertaste, slightly tannic, strong presence and fine form; full of character.
This wine has been written about by Chiabrera, Redi and Mario Soldati. Also by Sante Lancerio, the wise cellarman of Pope Paul III; about whom I have published a book in 1994, that I am proud of.

Today it is true that Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is an elegant warm wine, moderately tense to meet the international taste, but above all, remains the strengthen of the intimate ties with the land from where it comes from. An antique beautiful tormented land, where for centuries, generations of farmers have built with passion and tenacity an emblem of our heritage of flavours.
So hidden in myths, was born, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, that the myths themselves are fascinated by, and that the same have inevitably enchanted

Television journalist
It is a pleasure to occupy oneself with a wine like Nobile and in a place like Montepulciano: with a glass, in this case is never 'bare and plain', it is the catalyst for a story for the imagination that endeavours to immerses the audience in centuries of art and history, in a pleasant climate, from a metrological point of view, and relaxed one from the point of human relationships, in the splendid cellars and in the events such as the August Bravio, it is totally tied to tradition and at the same time alienated to folklore.
Piero Marrazzo
Television journalist
Nobile di Montepulciano evokes in me the sensations associated with Christmas. In fact punctually like the recurrence of Christmas, arrive the bottles of Tuscan red, given to us by our neighbour.
It came from the Sienese city, that is to say the wine that he personally bottled, while my grandfather pleasantly talked about the works of Poliziano.
Today to taste 'Nobile' the memoriescome back strongly like its strong and substantial taste.
Gianfranco de Laurentis
Television journalist
Excuse me.
I am not an expert on wine…. but to preserve some hope of salvation
Why, do I drink wine, tendentiously?
If it is good, it is better.
If it is Nobile di Montepulciano, even better .
Because it is very good.
Elio of the "Storie Tese"
Singer
Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is a great 'syrup' for the throat, for me who must sing. It is a great wine, strong, and is drunk, like drinking in centuries of history
Antonella Clerici
Television presenter
Only in a place so rich in beauty could an elegant and aristocratic wine be born, one of nobility not of appearance but of substance.
Anabel Townley
Golfer
My most beautiful memories of my stay in Tuscany, more than thirty years ago, are associated with the aromas of herbs and spices, of bread just baked, of hay just cut, of bed linen hung in the sun… of red wine just opened intoxicated like a gentleman, Nobile di Montepulciano, with which I toasted to the 'love of life'!

In the book 'Passions' by James Gabler for the Baccus Press in Baltimore he wrote of his passions for travel and for wines of which he was an exceptional connoisseur for his period, in reference to Nobile we read that Jefferson believed it to be a 'wine of great elegance, tasty, with a rich aroma, equal to the best of Burgundy.
