Montepulciano, 70 miles southeast of Florence, where the Romans grew vines and named it “Mons Politanus”. In the eighteenth century the term “Nobile” appeared to reference both the wine and the nobles who consumed it. Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is a red wine made predominantly from Sangiovese, the great Tuscan grape, the key player behind Chianti and Brunello di Montalcino.
