Origins and Confusion With Other Montepulciano Wines
According to wine expert Jancis Robinson, Montepulciano likely originated in Tuscany and may be related to Sangiovese of which the two grapes are often confused for each other. Despite this possible origin, the Montepulciano grape still does not seem to have any tangible connection to the Montepulciano village and the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano beyond what Robinson describes as "linguistics". Furthermore, despite being widely planted throughout central Italy, the Montepulciano grape is not even grown in the vineyards around the village of Montepulciano.
