Description
The Hans Herzog Montepulciano 2019 is a strikingly complex and alluring wine, offering a captivating nose of dark cherries, blueberries, plums, and hints of violets, chocolate, and spices. This wine balances immense power with elegance, delivering a juicy, mouthwatering acidity complemented by rounded tannins. The long finish reveals its depth, indicating a wine that is already impressive in its youth, yet has the structure and balance to evolve beautifully over time.
Matured for 24 months in French barriques (30% new), the wine was aged on its fine lees, which softened the tannins and acidity while preserving the purity of the fruit. The integration of the oak adds richness and complexity, while avoiding too much wood influence. Unfined and unfiltered, this Montepulciano retains its natural character and promises a remarkable aging potential. With ratings of 94 points from Bob Campbell MW and 91 points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, this wine is set to continue developing into a true gem for collectors and wine lovers.
