Montecucco Sangiovese DOCG

Sangiovese produced around the town of Montecucco was recognised as a DOCG in 2011 for its ability to create outstanding wines. The appellation, located just to the north east of Grosseto, is celebrated by many as producing Sangiovese wines that can stand up to the wines of Montalcino and Montepulciano. The best and most age worthy tend to also carry the riserva designation.
