Practifi Montepulciano Release Notes

Practifi
We’re excited to bring you our latest product release, Practifi Montepulciano.
Montepulciano, or as we Australians affectionately say, ‘Monte’ grapes are grown throughout much of central and southern Italy. The most famous examples of this popular, full-bodied red wine come from the Italian region of Abruzzo. Known for its versatility and approachability, Monte wines pair with a wide range of dishes. However, due to its high tannins, this grape pairs particularly well with fatty dishes such as roasted pork shoulder, beef tacos and pizza. Like Shiraz, it is hardy and can thrive in various weather conditions.
Similarly, Practifi Montepulciano is full of robust product enhancements across a wide range of product areas. With a variety of improvements based on client feedback, we’re confident this release will provide a better user experience for your team and product foundation to build on going forward.
Practifi Montepulciano will be available starting from April 29, 2024. If you have any questions or want to learn more, your Client Success Manager will be happy to help. You can view more detailed product release notes here.
