Varietal: Montepulciano
Montepulciano grapes have been grown in Italy for at least two thousand years, and recent decades have seen vintners in several New World countries experimenting with this particular varietal. Its popularity stems from the fact that it produces high and reliable yields, meaning it is a great grape to grow for those wishing to produce lots of wine at a consistent quality. Indeed, the Montepulciano grape in grown almost all over Italy, as this hardy varietal can thrive in many different climatic conditions. The grapes themselves are renowned for producing wines which are relatively light in body, as the low acidity in the grapes mean that wines made from them are very smooth, soft and drinkable. They usually hold warm, ripe flavors of plum and other autumn fruits, and are often very dark in color
Country: Italy
It isn't difficult to understand why Italy is famed not just for the quality of its wines, but also for the vast variety and range of characteristics found in the wines there. The terrain of the country varies wildly, from the lush rolling green hills and valley of Tuscany, to the sun drenched rocky coasts of Sicily, the mountainous and alpine regions of the north, and the marshy lowlands of the east. Italy really does have a little bit of everything. Combine this huge range of landscapes with an almost perfect climate for grape cultivation, and you have a country seemingly designed for viticultural excellence. The results speak for themselves, and it is clear to see that wine has become an inseparable part of Italian culture as a result of its abundance and brilliance. Each village, city and region has a local wine perfectly matched with the cuisine of the area, and not an evening passes without the vast majority of Italian families raising a glass of locally sourced wine with pride and pleasure.
