Montepulciano Wine Information Montepulciano is a red wine grape variety grown widely in central Italy, most notably its eastern Abruzzo, Marche and Molise regions.
This is the land of two beloved local wines: Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano.
Other well known Sangiovese-based Tuscan wines such as Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano could be bottled and labeled under the most basic designation of "Chianti" if their producers chose to do so.
