“Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is One of Europe’s Historic Red Wines” ~Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate.

This appellation, which by the way, was the first Italian Denominazione di Origine Controllata, was also the favorite wine of some of the most influential Popes, Kings, and Presidents of Italy. It was named "The King of All Wines" by the illustrious Italian poet Francesco Redi and “Vino Perfettissimo” by Pope Paul III.
