It's unclear whether it's the proximity to its famous northern neighbor, Brunello di Montepulciano, that attracts wine producers, but it is certain that wine production in Montecucco has developed at a break-neck pace, especially since the rewarding of its DOC in 1998, where we've seen a significant improvement.
