Perched on a narrow sandstone peak, over 600 metres high, surrounded by vineyards, Montepulciano is in a near-idyllic location in the heart of the Tuscan countryside. The town centre ramparts encircle the historic heart of the town. The Renaissance-style palaces (Avignonesi, Communal, etc.) draw the eye along the streets surrounding the charming main square (Piazza Grande). Below the town, the Madonna di San Biaggio monument is a sight not to be missed.

Thirty kilometres from Montepulciano, Montalcino is renowned for the Brunello wine that found its way to some of the world best tables. The fortress, churches, steep lanes, stairways, alleys and municipal palace, take us back in time. The territory of Montalcino thanks to climate, soil and position of the vineyards has become famous for the finest viticultural tradition respectful of the environment. The Brunello di Montalcino estates offers numerous opportunities to visitors interested in wine as well as natural beauty.
