This is a nice little tasting spot and they have a great variety of wines for which they charge WAY too much!!! I bought only 2 bottles there and it still pains me that I paid about 30 Euros too much! I really thought that a state run facility would be a great place to buy. Go on into town... More

This unique location is a must while visiting Montalcino. After visiting the tower and walking along the ramparts, take some time to sip a "few" fabulous Brunellos or - cheaper - Rosso di Montalcino, which is the same wine but not aged.

This is of course all part of... More

After driving from Florence via Siena, we decided to light in the fortress with an eye on tasting some different wines of the region as well as securing some gifts to take home.
