EspañolMONTEPULCIANO D'ABRUZZO
(Redirected from Montepulciano (grape))
'Montepulciano d'Abruzzo' is a type of wine grape as well as a type of red wine made from these same grapes in the Abruzzo region of east-central Italy. Up to 10% Sangiovese is permitted to be added to the blend. It is typically a fruity, dry wine with soft tannins, and as such is often consumed young. If aged by the winery for more than two years, the wine may be labelled "Riserva."
This wine should not be confused with Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, a Tuscan wine made from Sangiovese and other grapes, but not the Montepulciano variety.
It is blended with the grape Ciliegolo to make the wine ''Torgiano''. [1]
