Montepulciano: Of unknown origin, this vine is typical of
Abruzzo and other region in central and southern Italy. According to its
name, its origin might perhaps be traced back to the area of
Montepulciano in the province of Siena. It was supposedly introduced in
Abruzzo in the early 19th century, from where it spread to the
neighboring regions. The vine got to Apulia at the beginning of the
1900´s.
