Montepulciano/Montepulciano/Montepulciano

Italy isn’t easy. Sometimes it’s the name of the grape, sometimes it’s the name of the place.
Take Montepulciano, for instance.

• Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is a wine made from (primarily) the Prugnolo Gentile clone of Sangiovese around the town of Montepulciano, in southern Tuscany in the Provence of Siena.
• Montepulciano d’Abruzzo is made from the Montepulciano grape in the region of Abruzzo
  a couple of hundred miles to the south and east.

Different wines, indeed.
