The Hills of Montepulciano

Tufa and clay hills 700 Mts. high, covered in vineyards which specialize in the production of the renowned Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, produce excellent olive oil and cereals as well.

The town of Montepulciano, which in the XVI century was one of the most important fortresses of the Florentine Medici family, is surrounded by many hilltop medieval villages. 

A number of rural mansions have been restored and transformed into prestigious agriturisms.

The roads which wind through the woods and vineyards are perfectly suitable for hiking or biking. 

The evening breezes on these hills give relief after long hot summer days.

The local taverns feature the excellent Vino Nobile together with typical Tuscan dishes. 

Do not miss the chance to visit and shop in the ancient wineries located along the main road of Montepulciano.
