The industry in the wine-producing town of Montepulciano produces a number of different wines:

• Novello (produced not only in this specific region)
• Rosso di Montepulciano
• Nobile di Montepulciano
• Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva

Some wineries, in addition to wines, also produce Grappa. By Italian law, the same company cannot be both a certified winery and a certified distillery, therefore, the Grappa is produced in cooperation, but, is usually sold by the winery and bears the winery name on its label.

Rosso di Montepulciano

Rosso di Montepulciano is a red wine with Denominazione di Origine Controllata status produced in the vineyards surrounding the town of Montepulciano, Italy. The wine is made primarily from the Sangiovese grape varietal (known locally as Prugnolo gentile) (minimum 70%), blended with Canaiolo Nero (10%–20%) and small amounts of other local varieties such as Mammolo. The wine is aged in oak barrels for 1 year. The wine should not be confused with Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, a red wine made from the Montepulciano grape in the Abruzzo region of east-central Italy.
