Varietal: Montepulciano
The deep and dark wines made from the Montepulciano grape varietal have been hugely popular in Italy for over a thousand years, and remain popular to this day due to their large ripe flavors, and easy drinking character. Indeed, the Montepulciano grape is the second most cultivated red wine grape in Italy, with it being grown in twenty of the country's ninety five wine provinces. In recent decades, it has been cultivated in several other countries in the New World, in places with the correct warm and dry climatic conditions it thrives in. The Montepulciano grape has a low acidity, and medium levels of tannin, making it a smooth wine with a relatively light body, allowing the delicious flavors of ripened autumn fruits take center stage. It produces high yields, and matches well with many different foods.
Region: Marche
The eastern wine region of Marche in Italy has long been the spiritual home of the Verdicchio grape, one of Italy's most distinctive and widely loved white wine grape varietals. The stunning mineral rich soils of Marche help these grapes reach full ripeness, expressing much of their excellent terroir in the bottle, and the warm Adriatic climate assists in producing fruit of extraordinary quality, ideal for fine wine production. This has been the case for almost three thousand years, as Marche is a truly ancient wine region, favored by several civilizations over the millennia who recognized the excellence of the soil, the native grape varietals and the climatic conditions. Today, the wine industry of Marche remains strong and robust, with over sixty thousand acres under vine, and dozens of quality wineries producing excellent white and red wines for international wine lovers.
Country: Italy
There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' – the land of wines – so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.
