Not too familiar with Nobile. Had regular ol montepulciano, buts thats no the same right? I like the style Italians have with their wine though, Brunello and other funky wines especially.

QOTD: I’ve had Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, Brunello di Montalcino, and Rosso di Montalcino. I don’t think I’ve tried any Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. The few Montepulciano d’Abruzzo were meh. The Brunello di Montalcino and Rosso di Montalcino rocked. Bring on some Vino Nobile to expand my palate.

Very good from an italian view..I myself as a southern American from Arkansas would perfer our state wines. Please visit these links to find out more about them. My company provides entertainment to all types of events in Arkansas, so we have seen a variety of wines from all over the world.

Gary, you’re getting peeps confused: It’s Vino Nobile di Montepulciano….and not Montalcino. Look what DaveyDonut has just written.

QOTD: A Vino Nobile is a nice wine.

QOTD: I only have tried the first one – the 2005 Cerro Vino Nobile Di Montepulciano and wasn’t that impressed by the effort, 86 pts maybe. If I came across the 2004 Torcalvano or the Poliziano I might give it another shot.

QOTD: Love them. We had a 2001 Tenuta Vitanza Brunello di Montalcino a little while ago, and even though it was a bit young, it was really great. My personal score for it was 94 (higher than Parker or Tanzer). It wasn’t a $20.00 bottle though; closer to $60.00. I’d be happy to try any Brunello; we don’t get them much here.

QOTD – Don’t know yet. I think you’re right on the money with the better question – why aren’t these wines more popular? Italy is more confusing than France. Is it a grape? Is it a place? Is it a style? WTF? I never know for sure if I’m buying the right thing.

QsOTD back to you: Where did you go for dinner, what did you order, and what wine did you drink?

Keep rockin’ it GV

this is where italy and france rock. it is possible to get a $20 wine ( in the US ) and it rawks your booty. even in switzerland, 20 bucks can go a long way. good suggestions gary. BTW way to start the week, not including yesterday

bravo!

You’re really babbling today! Every single time saying Montalcino…

Montepulciano = Mawn-teh-pool-CHA-noh… NOT Montalcino (mon tal CHEE no)

QOTD: These wines are yummy!

Nice show, not really a fan of the food friendly vino.

QOTD: Seems like the only Italians I really like are $50 +, so I hardly go with them, just to many good low dollar wines elsewhere that really rock out.

QOTD: My thoughts are that for my palate, sometimes those sour cherry flavors get a little heavy. When they’re kept in check, I love this style.

Top ten baby!

I have found these wines in the past to be a bit uninteresting…too much cherry and not enough old world love. Sounds like I need to do more exploring!

QOTD … Don’t know G.V. for less than 20 bones there are several CA. wines and many Chilean and Australian wines I would rather buy but I’m a low budget guy and what do I know.

I get confused with Montepulciano. But I think I know Montalcino (Brunello di and Rosso di).
