GUIDED TOUR OF THE WINERY AND UNDERGROUND CITY WITH TASTING AND/OR LIGHT LUNCH
We begin with the tour of the underground city – historic cellar Ercolani, located in the historic center of Montepulciano (SI), at Via di Gracciano nel Corso 80. Our guide will accompany you to the historic cellar where the precious Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG and Vin Santo di Montepulciano DOC Riserva are aged. The cellar is located within the underground city, a medieval subterranean passageway beneath seven noble palaces, which ends with a museum of instruments of torture and war, and an Etruscan tomb. At the end of the guided tour, you will be welcomed into the medieval halls of the underground city, where you will be served lunch and a tasting of our wines paired with delicacies such as cured meats, pecorino cheeses, truffle products, and more, typical of the Val d'Orcia and Val di Chiana.
