The wine is primarily based on the region's undisputed main grape, Sangiovese, which is known locally as Prugnolo Gentile or Sangiovese Grosso. Following the harvest, the wine undergoes an extended maturation period in small oak barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMontepulciano is a historical wine region located in southeastern Tuscany, situated between the Val di Chiana and Val d'Orcia valleys. The area is centered around a medieval hilltop town, with vineyards typically planted on slopes at elevations between 250 and 600 meters above sea level. This topography provides the vines with various sun exposures and distinct microclimates. The soils are highly varied, consisting of a complex mixture of clay, sand, limestone, and tuff. The clay contributes to the structure of the vines, while the sand and limestone ensure excellent drainage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe climate in Montepulciano is predominantly Mediterranean, featuring warm summers and cool nights. This temperature variation, combined with cooling breezes from the surrounding hills and a mild influence from nearby Lake Trasimeno, ensures an even ripening of the grapes. The 2003 vintage was particularly warm and ripe, achieving a score of 85 points. In 1980, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano gained international recognition by becoming the first wine in Italy to achieve the prestigious DOCG classification.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Luigi Cecchi \u0026 Figli","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57365574615366,"sku":null,"price":180.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1106_0d78aaf7-cf26-48ef-928f-4c39435baba5.jpg?v=1789376047","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.com\/products\/vino-nobile-di-montepulciano-cecchi-2003","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
