Canaiolo Nero, Colorino, Prugnolo Gentile

In the center of the Renaissance town of Montepulciano, the Contucci family has been making wines of place since 1800. The deepest section of the cellar at the Contucci Palace is from the year 1000, which is around the time the family estimates their ancestors first began living in Montepulciano. At Roscioli, we are drawn to their wines as each bottle exudes a history of familial knowledge passed down for generations in order to make a perfect blend using only the local grapes.
Produced from vineyards located at 280 to 450 meters above sea level, this Vino Nobile is crafted using 80% Prugnolo Gentile alongside Canaiolo Nero and Colorino. Fermentation includes a long maceration, and the wine matures for two years in oak barrels, followed by bottle refinement. The result is an elegant expression of Montepulciano's terroir, showcasing balance and depth, shaped by the family’s deep commitment to quality.

Contucci

Palazzo Contucci is where the family has lived since the Renaissance and has been making wine for more than a thousand years. Today Adamo Contucci and his relatives carry forward this lineage, guardians of the noble Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. Their vineyards spread at about 400–450 meters above sea level, cultivated with Sangiovese—here called Prugnolo Gentile—alongside smaller parcels of Canaiolo and Colorino. Farming is careful and respectful of tradition, harvests are by hand, and fermentations take place with native yeasts, followed by long aging in large Slavonian oak casks.
