*Montepulciano is located southeast of Siena and home to Italy’s first
DOCG. Prugnolo Gentile(gentle wild plum) is the name for Sangiovese
planted in this region for making the Vine Noble (noble wine).
Founded
in 1913 by Marchese Giuseppe Fassati, Fassati’s two principle parcels,
named Gracciano and Caggioie, were evaluated by a recent government
study as the best suited for the production of Vino Noble di
Montepulciano.
