The wines:
The Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is one of the outstanding traditional Tuscan D.O.C.G wines. Sangiovese, here called “Prugnolo Gentile”, is combined with Canaiolo Nero, to produce a masterpiece. Wine with the appellation "Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG" must undergo an ageing period of at least two years, at least 3 years for qualification "riserva". Rosso di Montepulciano is a sort of a younger, "declassified" Nobile and was created so people could drink a more immediately accessible Nobile to age.
