The elegant town is full of noble residences and Renaissance churches. we will visit the Piazza Grande, the natural theater of many artistic, folkloric and oenological events. We will visit its incredible medieval cellars dug into the rock under the noble palaces, for centuries the place of aging of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG.
