Montepulciano d'Abruzzo


Montepulciano is a type of grape, and is also the wine made of those grapes in the region of Abruzzo. The blend admits up to 10% Sangiovese. D.O.C., since 1968. Not to be confused with Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, which is a tuscan wine, made of a different grape. This a nice wine, affordable and soft.
