Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Nobile di Montepulciano and Brunello di Montalcino?
Both are excellent Sangiovese-based DOCG wines from neighboring towns, but Nobile allows a small percentage of other grapes and ages for only 2 years (Brunello requires 5), giving it a softer, more approachable style at a generally lower price.
Is Vino Nobile the same as Montepulciano d'Abruzzo?
No — despite the similar name, they're unrelated. Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is a Tuscan Sangiovese wine from the town of Montepulciano, while Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is a different grape variety grown in Abruzzo, on Italy's other coast.
How much free time do we get in Montepulciano's old town?
Enough to stroll the Renaissance streets and take in the views over the Val d'Orcia at your own pace. Your guide can adjust the timing on request.
