Part 7/9:
Crowning the hills is Montepulciano, a town that boasts both stunning vistas and noble palazzos, where the Florentine aristocracy once retreated for the summer. The grandeur of the Piazza Grande reflects the wealth and ambition of the noble families who sought to outshine one another.
In Montepulciano, we partake in wine tastings, highlighted by a visit to the Contucci family winery. Here, we explore the nuanced flavors of the Nobile di Montepulciano, a revered Tuscan wine that embodies the region’s rich agricultural heritage. The passionate storytelling of our guide transforms our tasting experience into a profound appreciation of the wine-making tradition.
