In 1434 Contuccio was as a great honour, made a citizen of Florence; in 1542 Giulio Cesare and in 1586 Francesco were Standard Bearers. Ottaviano became the commander of Cosimo's army and died gloriously on 5th December 1594. In the 17th century it is worth remembering Giulio, doctor of civil and church rights at Pisa University; Arcangiolo commander of the army of the Grand Duke Ferdinando II; Gregorio, who, besides being Standard Bearer in 1612, was also "Alfiere delle Corazze" of Christina of Lorena. In 1700 the jesuit Contuccio was rector of the Study of Rethoric and responsable for the Kircheriano Museum in Rome. – Description from Kursulla

Contucci Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva 2005

Snoothrank:

A smoky, slightly gamy style of wine with blackberry jam on toast notes, and hints of leather and roasted chestnut. In the mouth this is very polished and fine with fully developed floral and herbal top notes over the slightly rustic and wild red fruit tones. The tannins are brisk and crisp giving this a slightly muscular feel. A fine food wine,... Read More

Contucci Rosso di Montepulciano 2006

Snoothrank:

Deep and musky on the nose with a lovely gamy edge and earthy spice notes framing dark berry fruit. In the mouth this is a gentle giant with deep strawberry fruit on entry backed with subtle herb tones and a nice spicy overlay. The tannins are somewhat prominent with a strawberry seed astringency and mineral edge to the elegant and fairly long ... Read More

Contucci Vino Nobile di Montpulciano 2006

Snoothrank:

This has a nice creamy black raspberry/black currant fruit nose over elements of bacon fat and toast with a nice violet top note. On the palate this is bright and precise with strawberry and raspberry tones up front that are built on a very fine tannic backbone. This is a mild style that yields a gentle, integrated, layered mouthfeel that revea... Read More

Contucci Rosso di Montepulciano 2008

Snoothrank:

This starts off with a little sulphury funk that slightly obscures the slightly jammy notes of blackberry jam and leather nuances. On entry the acid here is almost bracingly prominent but the sweetness of the fruit quickly conceals it yielding a smooth mid-palate with excellent purity to the black raspberry fruit. Theres a nice note of salami ... Read More
