Trader Joe's Wine Review:

Vino Nobile di Montepulciano

The Incanto label is an excellent vintage 2005 Nobile.  The actual bottling is by a Co-op in Siena, Italy just north of the Montepulciano area.  Made from Sangiovese grapes, this variety of Montepulciano is close to Brunello...at substantially less money.  Nice aroma and soft flavor make this a great choice with pasta and mild meat sauces.  Good with grilled chicken as well.  Very fruity with lots of soft flavors.  Not as balanced and full as a good Brunello but pleasant.  At only $9.99 its a great value both with dinner and by itself.
