What to Expect When Visiting Montepulciano, Toscana, Italy
A visit to this Cellar is a voyage in time and history: here is the essence of the sweet Tuscan earth, the wine, that they already took care of, worshiped and consumed in happiness and joy, with passion and tenacity our distant ancestors, the Etruscans, some centuries earlies than the Christian era.
Respecting the philosophy of great red wines, and the terms defined for the aging in wood here we find rows of enormous Slavonian oak barrels, perfectly conserved, where lie thousands of hectolitres of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, and other rows with dozens of tonneaux and barrique barrels made of quality French wood.
In the other areas of the historic cellar one is pushed and squeezed gradually into the buried depths of the sandy tufa to penetrate into the twilight, suggestive paths of tunnels have been created from which fossils have been found denoting its very ancient origins.
