Vino Nobile di Montepulciano stands as one of the world's most ancient wines. The poet Francesco Redi, in a celebratory verse enumerating Tuscan wines, declared, "Montepulciano, of all wines, is king." Voltaire, in his work "Candide," even made mention of Montepulciano wine. The term "Nobile" derives from the wine's character, encapsulating the essence of Ruffino's style.
