Montepulciano

Montepulciano

Montepulciano is a magnificent grape variety that originates from central Italy, predominantly the Marche and Abruzzo regions. Distinguished for its deep purple colour and robust nature, it is the second most widely planted red grape in Italy, promising exceptional wines that are notably popular amongst wine enthusiasts.

Montepulciano grapes contribute to profoundly aromatic wine with ample ripeness, delivering a full-bodied flavour profile that is rich in fruity notes such as plum, cherry and boysenberry. Graceful savoury accents of pepper and tobacco can also be found, alongside a pleasant tannic structure. The wine produced has an excellent potential for ageing, wherein this process can unveil additional complexities in aroma and flavour, typically involving delightful hints of liquorice and earthy tones.

Interestingly, this grape should not be confused with the Tuscan wine named Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, which results from Sangiovese grapes. While Montepulciano is the name of a town in Tuscany, Montepulciano grapes are not actually grown there. This sometimes results in a bit of confusion.

The Montepulciano variety of grape vine prefers warmer climates, needing a lengthy growing season to fully mature. Generally, they thrive in moderately fertile, clay-rich soil terrains, wherein they can yield lucratively high grape volumes. Given these attributes, they can be considered almost resilient to temperamental weather scenarios.

In recent years, Montepulciano grapes have broadened their geographical reach, adapting admirably to the conditions offered by vineyards in New Zealand and Australia, where they are earning an increasing reputation for quality.

In entirety, the Montepulciano grape is a fascinating varietal, offering a unique expression of Italian wine culture. Its deep flavours, adaptability to various climates, and ample output make it an exceptional choice both for wine producers and connoisseurs seeking a full-bodied, flavourful red wine experience.
