Winemaker
Giulio and Miriam Caporali run the estate (site: 'Miriam and Giulio Caporali sow each autumn…'); consulting oenologist Eric Boissenot since 2010 (earlier Prof. Yves Glories). Head winemaker not formally named.

Valdipiatta is widely regarded as one of the finest producers of Nobile in the Montepulciano zone. Father Giulio and daughter Miriam Corporali make an outstanding Nobile di Montepulciano. Their Nobile and indeed the winery is consistently rated highly by wine critics worldwide.

The 2018 Nobile di Montepulciano is a ruby colour with a nose of fragrant berries flowers, spices, tobacco and licorice. It is delicate and elegant with unobtrusive acid and tannins. It is supple yet firm with a medium to long finish.

Producer
Tenuta Valdipiatta farms 22 hectares of vineyard in the heart of the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano zone, certified organic since 2018 and managed as a closed ecosystem with cover crops and home-made compost. Its traditional wines are Sangiovese-led, with the single-vineyard Vigna d'Alfiero (planted almost half a century ago by the estate's first cellarman, Alfiero Carpini) made from pure Sangiovese. Since the 1990s the estate has worked with Bordeaux consultants, most recently Eric Boissenot.
