Extended Description

When we visited Sergio Paolini at Montepulciano recently, he was particularly pleased. The Italian National Festival of regional food had awarded him the 5 star Golden Grape award. This retired banker produced his first commercial wine the Tre Vigne in 2004 and now seems destined to produce sought after wines. Another Tuscan food and wine voice we take note of is Cornucopia in Pienza. From their small shop they serve regional food lovers across Italy with Tuscan specialities including wines. Their latest newsletter devotes a whole page to Sergio’s wine under the headline “a star is born: Luteraia” Sergio is an independent man. You will notice his wine is an IGT and not a DOCG Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. This is because he uses the Prugnolo Grosso (the Brunello grape) variety of Sangiovese rather than the traditional Prugnolo Gentile. This makes the wine stronger and dryer than a typical Vino Nobile. It is aged in oak for 9 months, bottled and released after 18 months .
