What to expect
Your guide collects you by private car and drives to Fontecornino Cellar, where you'll enter the winery's atmospheric stone chambers—built with traditional wooden and steel fermentation vessels side by side. A walk through the surrounding vineyards explains how the local terroir shapes Montepulciano's distinctive reds, especially the region's flagship Nobile. Back inside, you'll taste six wines methodically, each paired with cured meats, local cheese, and fresh pici. The pace is unhurried; your guide handles logistics and context, letting you focus on flavour and conversation.
