Holidays in Montepulciano among landscapes and art

During your stay in Montepulciano you can live as characters of a story or fairy tale and this is possible thanks to Palazzo San Donato. Palazzo San Donato, was built during the Renaissance period from the reconstruction of two medieval towers, at the time of Montepulciano’s foundation.

A Tuscan country to discover

Montepulciano, 605 meters above sea level, is located on the hilly ridge between Valdichiana and Val d’Orcia in the south-eastern part of Tuscany adjacent to Umbria region. It is located in a beautiful dominant position with breathless views of the surrounding valleys.

Lying on the top of the hill, it preserves its medieval aspect to which are added important Renaissance evidence that underline its period of maximum magnificence. Allied to Florence in the 15th century it was the time of Poliziano, of Pope Martin Vth and his secretary Bartolomeo Aragazzi.

The following century the town had a great impulse in the architectural arts. Antonio da Sangallo il Vecchio, Jacopo Barozzi known as Vignola, Baldassare Peruzzi, Ippolito Scalza built magnificent patrician residences, splendid churches and various points of the urban center were embellished. Montepulciano obtained the highest possible recognition of DOCG in 1980. The Consorzio del Vino Nobile is the first producers’ consortium and it brings together and safeguards all the wineries.

The art of wine in Montepulciano has been recognized since ancient times, from the Romans to other important persons who enjoyed the quality features of the Nobile di Montepulciano. In the town there are many traditional celebrations more or less linked to the history and traditions of the place, the Bravio delle Botti which involves all the different Contrade in a competition, the Bruscello theater show with non-professional actors, wine events as Calici Sotto le Stelle in August and the Preview of Vino Nobile in February.
