This 1966 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is a red wine produced by Cantina del Redi. The wine holds the Denominazione di Origine Controllata classification and was bottled directly by the producer at the origin.
Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is a historic wine area situated around the town of Montepulciano in southern Tuscany. Tuscany itself is one of Italy's most iconic wine regions, with winemaking roots stretching back to the Etruscans. The 1966 vintage from this area is characterized by good depth and structure, earning a score of 87 points.
The wine is based on Sangiovese, which is the undisputed main grape of Tuscany and forms the foundation for the region's classic wines. In Montepulciano, this grape is locally known as Prugnolo Gentile, and local regulations dictate that Vino Nobile must contain at least 70 percent of it. While deeply rooted in central Italy, with significant plantings in Umbria and Emilia Romagna, Sangiovese is also cultivated internationally in regions such as California.

Tuscany
Tuscany is one of Italy's most iconic wine regions, with roots reaching back to the Etruscans.

From the 1970s the prestigious Super Tuscans also emerged along the coast. The rolling hills produce structured red wines with cherry, herbs and firm tannins.
