Why visit Montepulciano even in winter<\/h2>\n

We take this opportunity to invite you exploring Montepulciano even in the coldest season, as many of the peculiarities of this hamlet are not necessarily linked to spring or summer.<\/p>\n

Let’s imagine visiting Montepulciano starting from the church of San Biagio, an example of Renaissance Greek cross central plan, a masterpiece designed by Antonio da San Gallo the Elder at the foot of the hill.<\/p>\n

From here we begin the ascent, walking the streets of Gracciano, Voltaia, Opio nel Corso, where we will see the Renaissance palaces, designed by ingenious architects such as the aforementioned Sangallo, Vignola and Peruzzi.<\/p>\n

In this square we have to suggest a visit to the Duomo, then admire the Nobili-Tarugi palace, not open to the public, a noble residence dating back to the XVI century.<\/p>\n

About the historic center, it’s interesting to note that it has the shape of an “S” and is enclosed within three circles of walls, built in the XVI century.<\/p>\n

The uniqueness of this hamlet, however, also consists in the existence of craft shops, which here and in other Tuscan towns are still working: craftsmen specialized in iron and wood products, mosaic workshops and shops that sell products made on site.<\/p>\n

In this overview you shouldn’t miss the food and wine specialties, such as those we recommended in the post The specialties of Val di Chiana<\/a>, and wines, of which you will find an excellent selection in the historic cellar of Borgo Tre Rose.<\/p>\n
