Wines : Rosso di Montepulciano DOC

Montepulciano stands on a height at the southern extremity of the Chiana Valley in the province of Siena. The Rosso di Montepulciano DOC was established quite recently and complements that of the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, from which it is distiguished only in terms of yield per hectare, alcohol level and aging. The production area is exactly the same.

The discipline gives individual producers the right to choose one of the two DOCs, depending upon the exposure of his terrains, the climatic situation during the growing season and all the other elements that render the grapes more adapted to the production of one wine rather than the other.
