What grows here

Montepulciano

23 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.

Perched 605 meters high where the clay hills of Val d’Orcia meet the Valdichiana, Montepulciano’s viticulture has evolved since its Etruscan foundation in the fourth century BC. This unique upland terroir yields the prestigious Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG and the vibrant Rosso di Montepulciano DOC, both exclusive to this single municipality. Today, 95 registered local producers craft these historic wines, harnessing the distinct microclimates of the Tuscan ridge. With 50 of these estates welcoming visitors, travelers can experience firsthand the deep-rooted synergy between this ancient hilltop outpost and its world-renowned, tightly defined viticultural landscape.
