Through Bacco’s Door: Nobile News from Montepulciano

Modo di Bere

Rose Thomas interviews Andrea Rossi, president of the Consorzio of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. Silvia Loriga, who works at the Consorzio, translates for Andrea. She also describes the medieval city where she was born in such a captivating fashion, Rose Thomas planned a trip to walk through the Porta di Bacco as soon as possible. Big news from the Vino Nobile DOCG is the new Pieve system, geographical subzones that should be rolled out on the labels of Montepulciano's top wines starting in 2024. The wines from Montepulciano—a place in Tuscany—are based on the Sangiovese grape. They are not to be confused with wines made from the Montepulciano grape popular with winemakers in the region of Abruzzo.
