Visiting the town of Montalcino will introduce you to this wine of great character that is cultivated exclusively in this area.

| MONTEPULCIANO Noble Wine (Il Nobile), produced in Montepulciano, has sangiovese grapes as its base. We will be able to admire the incredible panorama that surrounds this area and visit the wine cellar Poliziano Winery – one of the most renowned – and taste the wide range of wines available, from the Montepulciano Red (Rosso di Montepulciano), with a great bouquet and younger than the Nobile, which is a strong-bodied and well balanced wine. | |||||
| SUGGESTIONS The lands surrounding these hamlets are those you see in the typical picture postcards of Tuscany. The well-known cypress trees and white roads snaking across the luxuriant country side are exactly what you will see when visit these places. On this tour you can appreciate the medieval atmosphere made of castles and towers, which will take you through lands where time seems to have stopped. Between Montalcino and Montepulciano you will visit Pienza - the ideal city - beautiful and refined, mostly known for its typical wine and food products. | |||||
