Dei stands among Montepulciano's finest producers, established in 1964 and bottling estate wines since 1985. This Vino Nobile di Montepulciano—Tuscany's most prestigious red wine appellation (DOCG status)—blends 90% Sangiovese with 10% Canaiolo, planted from 15-40 year vines in the Ciarliana and Cervognano crus. After fermentation in stainless steel, the wine matures 18 months in Slavonian oak. At four years old, this 2021 vintage shows the kind of balance that characterizes Vino Nobile di Montepulciano—full body and velvety tannins balanced by fine acidity and spicy complexity. The 2019 vintage was ranked #34 on Wine Spectator's Top 100. For those seeking serious Tuscan Sangiovese, this wine demonstrates why Montepulciano commands respect.

Antonio Galloni

"The 2021 Nobile di Montepulciano is a total pleasure on the nose, wafting up with a display of crushed blackberry, wild blueberry, autumnal spice and licorice aromas. This is juicy in style with crisp red and blue fruit tones that swirl across a stream of brisk acidity as nuances of lavender inform the close. The 2021 leaves a gentle tension and subtly grippy tannins that frame the experience quite well, finishing long yet fresh." —Eric Guido

Wine Spectator

93 points

"This red is supple and complex, walking a fine line between fruity and savory, youthful and mature. Cherry, plum, almond, iron, earth and tobacco notes pick up a hint of vanilla as this fades gracefully on the long, lively aftertaste. Prugnolo Gentile and Canaiolo."
