Tonight's bottle · Dark, tannic, tobacco-edged red
Avignonesi Vino Nobile di Montepulciano
🇮🇹Tuscany, Italy · Sangiovese (Prugnolo Gentile)
Dark cherry and tobacco leaf, a wine that carries itself with old-world formality. More austere than Chianti, less showy than Barolo. Drinks like someone who's read everything and doesn't need to prove it.
