Tuscany is one of Italy's most iconic wine regions, with a winemaking history that traces its roots back to the Etruscans. Within southern Tuscany lies Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, a historic red wine area centered around the town of Montepulciano. The 1985 vintage is recognized as a legendary Brunello year in the region, achieving a score of 94 points.
The wine is based on Sangiovese, Italy's undisputed main grape, which is locally known as Prugnolo Gentile. By regional regulation, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano must contain a minimum of 70 percent of this variety. While Sangiovese forms the foundation for many classic Tuscan wines, it is also frequently cultivated in regions such as Umbria, Emilia Romagna, and California. This specific vintage is bottled at 13 percent alcohol.

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.
