Twentieth Vino Nobile Preview

The Vino Nobile Preview, a traditional event sponsored by the Consortium to present the new vintages on the market, is scheduled from 2:00 to 6:00 p.m. on February 16th, and from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on February 17th.

We remind you that the event is reserved for industry operators (restaurateurs, wine merchants, sommeliers, distributors...), therefore, you are kindly requested to fill the accreditation form below.

On the catwalk, wll parade: Nobile 2011 (a vintage boasting 4 stars, 5 is the highest), ready to be placed on the market after two years of evolution imposed by the product specification, Reserve 2010, a 4 star vintage too, as well as the other wines produced in the area of Montepulciano.

The preview will take lace at the Fortress of Montepulciano, that for the occasion will become a real theater of wine. The building of the fortress is the focus of an important restoration project funded by the same producers of Vino Nobile. The Preview event is also an opportunity to “celebrate” Montepulciano for local people, for wine lovers, for enthusiasts and connoisseurs of quality products of the area. For this reason, throughout the week, related activities that will involve the entire tourism system of Montepulciano are planned. On the website of the Vino Nobile Route you find all the related activities.
