The 2020 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Santa Caterina is sweetly alluring with masses of crushed wild berries, confectionary spice, violets and lavender. This displays the warm character of the vintage with its soft, plush textures and ripe fruits. A bump of brisk acidity adds energy toward the close. Edgy tannins saturate the palate, adding structure through the nish as rosy inner orals and bitter blackberry fade.
