There & Back Again – A Traveler's Tale

I wanted to follow up with the list of wineries in Tuscany that you could tour. Its called Poggio Antico. Their email address is mail@poggioantico.com. Their wine is awesome. They specialize in Brunello di Montalcino; one of the Kings of Italian wines. They also do a nice tour of their wine making process. You could also make it a day and go into the hill town of Montalcino. They have a big fort (Fortezza) there that they have turned into a wine shop. We sometimes have lunch there.

Poliziano is one of our favorites. They specialize in Nobile di Montepulciano. It’s between Cortona and Montepulciano.

Finally, we have been to another Montepulciano winery called Avignonese. They have a great lunch with tasting in the vineyard. They also do a tour.

Oh yeah, and there is a restaurant you should try in Montepulciano. They do lunch and dinner, very small and casual:

Oh, and there is a really cool copper smith in Montepulciano. You should go by his shop:
