Vino Nobile de Montepulciano
18.10.2011 - 19.10.2011
We quickly discovered in our first day of being here that these Tuscans are very proud of... everything. Their history and heritage, not to mention their very own pasta called pici (pronounced "pishi"). Most of all however, they hold the keys to the world renowned Il Vino Nobile. It is a special percentage of several types of grapes blended and then stored for a minimum of two years in these beautiful wine casks. We are not wine connoisseurs in the least, but no need to be forced to enjoyed the free tour and tastings.
The city itself has a beautiful view of the valleys, winding roads, and rolling hills and you can see for miles around. 
We loved the little cars and bicycles and vespas too. They added to the whole feel of being very far from what we call home.
