Enjoy a wonderful fall recipe for risotto from the heart of Tuscany. Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is, unsurprisingly, a wine made in the area near Montepulciano. The town is reputedly named after the grape (and not vice-versa), as Montepulciano grapes actually hail from Abruzzo. Vino Nobile is now considered a quintessential Tuscan wine, despite the confusing name, and pairs perfectly with the flavors of this risotto.
You can try Vino Nobile di Montepulciano on one of our Tuscany cooking vacations, such as Cook under the Tuscan Sun or Tuscan Splendor.
