An elegant and traditional red wine from one of Tuscany’s oldest winemaking regions, perfectly exemplifying Ruffino’s estate wines: unique and artisanal. The word “lodola” comes from the Italian word for lark, songbirds that migrated to the Montepulciano region, and the word “nobile” refers to the noble, or supreme, quality of this wine. The Lodola Nuova estate dates back to the mid-1200s with wines being produced since the 15th century. This is a medium-bodied wine with a refreshing acidity and smooth, ripe tannins that create an elegant and well-balanced structure. Fruity notes persist across the palate and evolve into a lingering finish of plum and tobacco. 

Beautifully balanced wine from the Lodola Nuova estate located near Valiano. A blend of 90% Sangiovese (called Prugnolo Gentile in this region) and 10% Merlot matured for two years in large oak barrels. The intense aromas of plum and red berry fruits, backed with floral and spice notes are reflected on the rich, full-bodied and lingering palate.

Serve with rich flavoured dishes such as red meats with a wine reduction.
