Shawn will lead a special tasting under the tent in the center of the store, featuring six renowned wines from the region and will discuss the differences between Vino Nobile and Rosso di Montepulciano.
Montepulciano is known as a Tuscan Treasure, one of the top regions in the world for the Sangiovese grape. Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is also one of Tuscany's smallest regions and the first to be awarded the DOCG status, the highest classification for Italian wines. These rich red wines based on the Sangiovese grape have similar flavor profiles to their neighbors in Chianti Classico and Brunello di Montalcino.
