Tuscany covers Chianti, Brunello, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Carmignano, Vernaccia and Super Tuscans, then Umbria, Lazio, Marche and Abruzzo. The Super Tuscan account links creative blending and single-variety bottlings with historical regulatory constraints. Montepulciano d'Abruzzo and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano are explicitly distinguished.

Ready means a recoverable source and precise supplied-PDF locator. No direct quotation is being authenticated here. Limits: PDF213's broad Sangiovese synonym list is not safe authority for merging grape entities: later PDF216/219 distinguish the Montepulciano grape from the town/wine name. Exact branded proportions, DOC histories, Brunellogate assertions and etymologies need verification for publication; literary quotations remain secondary attributions.
