The event heralds in the new vintages of this wonderful wine along with its little brother the Rosso di Montepulciano.

The new release 2011 Nobile from Valdipiatta and a sneak peek at the forthcoming 2012 Nobile.
In general the Nobile wines were in good shape, but I have a strong leaning to the 2012's over the 11's. The Valdipiatta is a classic case of an elegant 2011 compared to a robust and full bodied 2012. The 2012 Valdipiatta is a must wine to look out for. It will live and improve for many more years.
