The 2021 Dei, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Tuscany was a Merchant's Pick

Former Top 100 Tuscan Treat!

February 09, 2026

The Dei Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is one of the best-kept secrets in Tuscany.  A former Wine Spectator Top 100 wine and highly acclaimed year after year, the 2021 Dei Vino Nobile di Montepulciano continues the stunning run of this store favorite. 

Dei is a pure, old-school Sangiovese made the way Sangiovese should be made.

Not jammy. Not extracted.

No oak is used to mask any flaws.

Your pasta will never be the same. ​​​​​​​

And homemade pizza?  Like a slice of heaven!

“An intense bouquet with aromas of ripe cherries, plums and violets. It represents the perfect combination of structure and elegance: its full body and velvety tannins are balanced by its fine acidity. The wine is decidedly persistent and harmonious.”  Wine Spectator

Add freshly grated cheese to your pasta or pizza and enjoy.

This red is not to be confused with a Montepulciano (the grape) from the Abruzzo region of Italy.  This Montepulciano (the region that grows Sangiovese) is a little Sangiovese treasure.

Dei is not as big as a Brunello, and not as acidic as a Chianti.  It checks all the boxes with its balanced fruit and elegant profile.

"Please pass the pizza!!!"

Buy by the case(s).

Delicious!

Tuscany's best-kept secret!

“Long, lively aftertaste.”

Wine Spectator • 93 / 100

"This red is supple and complex, walking a fine line between fruity and savory, youthful and mature. Cherry, plum, almond, iron, earth and tobacco notes pick up a hint of vanilla as this fades gracefully on the long, lively aftertaste. Prugnolo Gentile and Canaiolo."

“A total pleasure.”

Vinous • 93 / 100

"The 2021 Nobile di Montepulciano is a total pleasure on the nose, wafting up with a display of crushed blackberry, wild blueberry, autumnal spice and licorice aromas. This is juicy in style with crisp red and blue fruit tones that swirl across a stream of brisk acidity as nuances of lavender inform the close. The 2021 leaves a gentle tension and subtly grippy tannins that frame the experience quite well, finishing long yet fresh."

“Lifts from the glass with rosemary and sage.”

Vinous • 93 / 100

"Darkly alluring, the 2020 Nobile di Montepulciano lifts from the glass with rosemary and sage, complicating dried black cherries and hints of dark chocolate. This is pure elegance, soft and enveloping, flaunting its ripe vintage fruit with a core of zesty acidity that maintains fantastic balance. A coating of fine tannins tugs at the palate with youthful poise, and a tart cranberry concentration fades. This tremendous effort from the warm vintage should not be missed. That said, the production of Cantina Dei's Nobile was down by 50% due to the conditions of the year."
