VINO NOBILE DI MONTEPULCIANO
MASTERCLASS & FREE TASTING
May 22, 2025
Both events - the masterclass and the free wine tasting - were held in Montreal at the Institut de tourisme et d'hôtellerie du Québec.
Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is a red wine produced by vineyards that surround the town of Montepulciano in Italy. The wine is made primarily from the Sangiovese grape viriety (minimum 70%) that is known locally as Prugnolo gentile. It is blended with Canaiolo Nero (10%–20%) and a small amounts of other local varieties of grapes. The wine is aged for 2 years, of that at least 1 year in oak barrels. And is aged for three years if it is a reserve wine (riserva).
Ten exclusive wines were offered for tasting during the Masterclass. They were all excellent wines and it was quite a task to choose the favourite. Each wine had a specific personality and created quite diverse reaction in one’s mouth. Very unique and very impressive wines.
Many more varieties of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano wines were offered at the free wine tasting event. This was an excellent event to get acquainted with the variety of exceptional wines from the Italian Montepulciano region.
The free wine tasting was generously accompanied with a great quality and quantity of Italian cold cuts and cheese tables at the back of the free wine tasting hall..
