Montepulciano is not a sweet wine; it is generally considered a drier wine.
Despite its profile often including juicy, fruit flavors, these characteristics do not equate to sweetness. Instead, Montepulciano wines are typically medium-bodied with soft tannins and high acidity.
You can expect to find distinct fruit notes in Montepulciano, such as:
- Wild cherry
- Blackberry
- Boysenberry
- Plum
These fruit-forward elements contribute to its vibrant taste but maintain its dry classification.
