Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

The grapes, about 90% of which are Sangiovese (known as Prugnolo gentile in Montepulciano) and small quantities of Canaiolo Nero and Mammolo, are gathered after an accurate selection at the precise moment of ripening. After vinification the wine is aged for at least two years in oak barrels and six months in bottles. The result is a ruby red wine tending to garnet red, which has a delicate fragrance and violet aroma, with a dry and slightly tannic flavor.

Pair with roasted meats, game and traditional Tuscan preparations.

Professional Ratings

90 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2011 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano boasts a light texture and density that is very refreshing to find in this heavier, warmer vintage. In fact, this expression has the latitude for more nuances aromas of crushed mineral and grilled herb that make for pretty contrasts to the cherry-forward nature of Sangiovese. The wine offers tangy freshness with polished tannins at the back. It should show a steady evolution over the next five years.

Le Berne

View all products

Podere Le Berne is a farm which occupies about 21 hectares, 10 hectares of which are covered by vineyards. It was founded at the end of the 1960s at the end of the typical Italian share-cropping system, by the Natalini family. During the years, they have linked the ancient artisan systems of production with modern techniques. Constant attention, passion, competence and care for the cultivation, vinification and ageing are all aspects which characterize Podere Le Berne wines, which have been sold by the litre for years and now finally have been bottled and labelled. The production area is in Cervognano, the heart of the terroir in which Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is produced. The 4 hectares of vineyards are situated in a slightly hilly area with excellent exposure to the sun. The name Le Berne, in fact, derives from a late Etruscan or Latin term (Verna or Verena) meaning "hillock". Its altitude of 350 metres above sea-level assures a perfect microclimate for wine production.

Tuscan Red Wine

Legendary in Italy for its Renaissance art and striking landscape, Tuscany is also home to many of the country’s best red wines. Sangiovese reigns supreme here, as either the single varietal, or a dominant player, in almost all of Tuscany’s best.

A remarkable Chianti, named for its region of origin, will have a bright acidity, supple tannins and plenty of cherry fruit character. From the hills and valleys surrounding the medieval village of Montalcino, come the distinguished and age-worthy wines based on Brunello (Sangiovese). Earning global acclaim since the 1970s, the Tuscan Blends are composed solely of international grape varieties or a mix of international and Sangiovese. The wine called Vine Nobile di Montepulciano, composed of Prognolo Gentile (Sangiovese) and is recognized both for finesse and power.
