Montepulciano is a red grape native to central Italy. Grown on the flatlands alongside the Adriatic Coast, it produces wines which are soft, rich and approachable; which makes Montepulciano a real find for those newer to wine. With notes of sour cherry, red plum and oregano, it’s also a great pair with food, especially pizza.
