IN THE LAND OF VINO NOBILE
A Guided Walking Tour of Montepulciano

This delightful down-hill walk is the perfect introduction to the artistic treasures of the charming birthplace of great Renaissance thinker and poet, Angelo Poliziano. Meet your expert authorized local guide and begin the visit at the austerely elegant Santa Maria dei Servi. Then make your way through the city gates and to the sober Duomo where you will enjoy the magnificent Gothic altar retablo and majolica works of the della Robbia brothers. Proceed to the stately Piazza Grande where the most impressive palazzi of the town can be admired. Then saunter along the main street; located along the top of a narrow ridge, Montepulciano snakes down the slope with virtually a single street – short side streets usually terminating in vertiginous drops. As such, all of the great families located their residences along this thoroughfare which today forms a veritable parade of fine noble architecture. Along the way, stop to enjoy a glass of the world-renowned vino nobile in loco in an atmospheric Enoteca.
