Specifically, it is a Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, a prestigious Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG). Montepulciano is a historic area located in southeastern Tuscany, situated between the Val di Chiana and Val d'Orcia valleys. Centered around a medieval hilltop town, the area boasts a long winemaking history that dates back to the Etruscans. In 1980, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano became the first wine in Italy to achieve the highest quality classification of DOCG.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vineyards in Montepulciano are typically planted on slopes at altitudes between 250 and 600 meters above sea level, providing the vines with varied sun exposure and microclimates. The climate is predominantly Mediterranean, characterized by warm summers and cool nights. This temperature variation, combined with cooling breezes from the surrounding hills and a mild influence from the nearby Lake Trasimeno, ensures an even ripening of the grapes. The 2003 vintage was characterized by warm and ripe conditions, earning a score of 85 points. The local soil is highly varied, consisting of a complex mixture of clay, sand, limestone, and tuff, where the clay contributes to the structure of the vines while the sand and limestone ensure proper drainage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine is based on Sangiovese, the undisputed main grape of Italy and the foundation of many classic Tuscan wines. In Montepulciano, this grape is locally known as Prugnolo Gentile. While Sangiovese is primarily cultivated in Tuscany, it is also frequently grown in other regions such as Umbria, Emilia Romagna, and California. The region of Montepulciano in Tuscany should not be confused with the grape variety of the same name, which is primarily grown in Abruzzo. The wine is bottled at 13.5% alcohol by volume.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Terrilogio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56885432549702,"sku":null,"price":165.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-257_a8f529c8-7143-40f7-a214-71fa20f55453.jpg?v=1782907316","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.eu\/products\/vino-nobile-di-montepulciano-terrilogio-2003","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
