Wines Made in Montepulciano

The industry in the wine-producing town of Montepulciano produces a number of different wines:

  • Novello (produced not only in this specific region)
  • Rosso di Montepulciano - The wine is made primarily from the Sangiovese grape varietal (known locally as Prugnolo gentile) (minimum 70%), blended with Canaiolo Nero (10%–20%) and small amounts of other local varieties such as Mammolo. The wine is aged in oak barrels for 1 year.
  • Nobile di Montepulciano
  • Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva
  • Grappa- By Italian law, the same company cannot be both a certified winery and a certified distillery, therefore, the Grappa is produced in cooperation, but, is usually sold by the winery and bears the winery name on its label.
