Introduction

Changed

Montepulciano is a beautiful Medieval town, encircled by fortified walls, located at 605 meters above sea level, in one of the most evocative areas of Tuscany.

It is a real pearl of history, art, and architecture. Montepulciano has preserved its oldest traditions, buildings, and unique charm over the years and therefore features the most magnificent Renaissance-style palaces and many churches, including the Cathedral Saint Mary of the Assumption that dominates one of the most beautiful squares of Tuscany and the gorgeous Church of San Biagio located admits the rolling green hills.

Finally, is Montepulciano home to its "Vino Nobile", one of Tuscany's most appreciated red wines.
