93 Pts James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com	"Dried cherries and light meat character to this wine. Full and juicy. Round and chewy tannins. Savory wine. Drink or hold." November 2012.

92 Pts Ian Dagata - Vinous Media	"(100% sangiovese): Ruby-red. Crushed dark berries and bitter chocolate on the nose, complicated by a violet nuance. Silky, concentrated and stylish, but firmly structured like all of Valdipiatta's wines, with lively flavors of dark berries and flowers. Finishes with substantial but fine tannins and terrific persistence. I can't remember the last time I liked a Vigna d'Alfiero as much at a similar stage of its development." September 2012.

91 Pts Wine Spectator	"Plum and dried flowers, with some cedar, follow through to a full body, with velvety tannins and a cherry, chocolate aftertaste. Delicious now. Drink now. 750 cases made." Reviewed 2009
90 Pts Antonio Galloni - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate	"The single-vineyard 2006 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Vigna d'Alfiero is 100% Prugnolo Gentile (Sangiovese) aged in a combination of new and once-used French oak barrels. Dark wild cherries, smoke, leather, licorice and tobacco emerge from an explosive, tannic wine that shows the more powerful and slightly rustic side of Montepulciano. This is still an outstanding wine, but I have a sense the wines the estate is making today show a greater emphasis on elegance. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2026." August 2011.

Description:

"This wine is named after Alfiero Carpini, the first vineyard worker at Valdipiatta, who had already been working at the estate for 15 years when Giulio Caporali bought the property in the late 1980s. It was Alfiero who taught the history of each vineyard to the Caporali family and planted a small vineyard in Bossona in 1973. After Alfiero passed away, Giulio Caporali honored his memory by producing a wine with the grapes grown in the vineyard that Alfiero had planted 25 years before

"Ruby red in color, the Vigna dâAlfiero has upfront aromas of wild berries and spices, with hints of violets and forest floor. On the palate, this wine is full-flavored and impressive, with spicy flavors, firm tannins, and a long finish.

"Pair with spaghetti and meatballs, Bolognese sauces, almond rice pilaf with spiced chicken, or chorizo stuffed pork tenderloin." - Distributor
