Vino Nobile Di Montepulciano<\/h2>\n

A wine country getaway to Italy would not be complete without a visit to the hilltop town of Montepulciano and the surrounding vineyards that produce the very fine wines of\u00a0Vino Nobile Di Montepulciano. \u00a0Montepulciano is located in Tuscany and very near the Umbrian Border. Several years ago we took a day trip to\u00a0Montipulciano from Umbertide, a small town in Umbria where we had rented a farmhouse.\u00a0Montepulciano is a very quaint town with many excellent restaurants and places to taste Vino Nobile de\u00a0Montepulciano. Our wine club recently tasted six\u00a0Vino Nobile Di Montepulciano wines in a blind tasting. The main grape of\u00a0Vino Nobile Di Montepulciano wines is a clone of the Sangiovese grape known as Prugnolo.\u00a0Vino Nobile Di Montepulciano wines can be 100% Prugnolo, but often the wine is blended with small amounts of other Italian red wine grapes. The Prugnolo grapes are planted on hillsides about 600 feet above sea level. Below is a list of the wines we tasted and in the order that we ranked them. \u00a0It should be noted that we also tasted these wines afterwards with an Italian luncheon. The wines tasted so much more delightful with our food. Vino Nobile is a food-friendly wine. Use\u00a0Wine-Searcher.com<\/a> to find where to purchase Vino Nobile wines near you.<\/p>\n
