The property belongs to the della Seta Ferrari Corbelli Greco family, now in its third generation under Marco, Vannozza, and Galdina, who inherited a vision of elegance and territorial authenticity from their father Giorgio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe estate farms 20 hectares of vine across four historic Crus — Casale, Toraia, Maramai, and Podere Rovisci — on the clay and silty soils of Gracciano hill at 300–350 meters, certified organic since 2018. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2021 Vino Nobile is 90% Prugnolo Gentile (Sangiovesse) and 10% Merlot, with in-house oenologist Beppe Rigoli harvesting a small early portion to preserve freshness and completing the remainder by late September, followed by a slightly shortened 15-day maceration with native yeasts in stainless steel at 28°C. Aged 18 months in a combination of 3.5 and 5hl French oak tonneaux (40%) and 25hl French and Slavonian oak botti (60%), then bottled and rested before release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVino Nobile di Montepulciano 2021 is a dense yet agile expression of Prugnolo Gentile from a warm, concentrated vintage kept in check by careful harvest timing. It opens with aromas of black cherry, morello, and violet, lifted by a note of mint and white smoke. On the palate, it is full-bodied and round with sandy tannins, ripe red and dark fruit, and a finish with lingering inner florals and a grip that signals years of development ahead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePairing\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bistecca alla Fiorentina with its char and iron, beef ragù over pappardelle, a slow-braised lamb with rosemary and white beans, or a Sunday table in Tuscany (or just anywhere outside).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Casa Bruno","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46088152088772,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/0350\/8676\/files\/DSCF2057-Vino-Noble-Montepulciano-2_184d8da2-2233-4420-b1bb-e777108c039b.png?v=1777239054","url":"https:\/\/offsetbottleshop.com\/products\/2021-tenuta-di-gracciano-della-seta-vino-nobile-di-montepulciano","provider":"Offset Bottle Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
