Duca di Cardino Rosso di Montepulciano 2018
Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is one of Tuscany’s finest (and priciest) reds. For a great-value alternative, savvy wine fans turn to Rosso di Montepulciano. The ‘baby brothers’ of Vino Nobile, these wines offer similarly elegant flavors and more richness than neighboring Chianti. And this highly rated example is one of the best we’ve tasted …
Duca di Cardino hails from the renowned Barbanera family and Tuscany’s fantastic 2018 vintage. Crafted with premium Sangiovese and other grapes grown in the family’s estate vineyards, it pays tribute to their legendary ancestor, Orazio Barbanera. After defeating the Florentines in a skirmish in an artichoke field, Orazio earned the honorary title ‘Duca di Cardino’ (‘Duke of Artichokes’). Last vintage scooped up a 90-point score from Italy’s No. 1 critic, Luca Maroni – and this plush 2018 continues the tradition with 94 points from a leading Italian wine guide.
Made to be enjoyed in its fruit-packed youth, this acclaimed Rosso di Montepulciano is ready to drink now. Secure your share while our limited cases last.
