Consorzio del vino nobile di Montepulciano

“Montepulciano is uniquely beautiful. The climate is wonderful and every evening, in a hammock, with a glass of wine...”. Thus Robert Pattinson, the actor who plays Edward Cullen in the Twilight saga (the literary and cinematic phenomenon of extraordinary worldwide success whose third instalment, Eclipse, is now screening in cinemas) described his experience filming New Moon in Italy to the TG1 news. The idol of thousands of girls and women around the world remembers the wine of Montepulciano and we are surely not one-sided if we add that his moments of relaxation with his guitar were accompanied by glasses of Rosso and Nobile di Montepulciano. This is confirmed by those who provided accommodation and reception for the actor and the very select group of friends with whom he spent his evenings. New Moon thus continues to have an important reverberating effect for Montepulciano, promoting the area and its excellent local products.

Further confirmation comes from the Strada del Vino Nobile di Montepulciano whose tourist packages include the tours of the set of New Moon: over 200 bookings were received in just a few months for this enjoyable visit which includes locations – like the monumental historical cellars – that formed a backdrop (or rather the scenery) for this extraordinary event, underlining the area’s vocation for wine production. Montepulciano is therefore confirmed as a place of unique beauty (as the good vampire tells us), ideal for a wine-based holiday rich in high quality experiences.
