Selected entries from the current guide for Montepulciano.
Montepulciano, Italy
Set within the historic Villa Svetoni estate above Montepulciano, Osmosi sits where a winery founded in 1865 meets contemporary Italian cooking. Chef Mirko Marcelli combines regional ingredients, Chianina beef, local grains, with international technique, across three tasting menus that can also be navigated à la carte.
Montepulciano, Italy
At Avignonesi's Le Capezzine estate outside Montepulciano, lunch is organized around a biodynamic vegetable garden that supplies nearly everything on the plate. Vegetable chef Luca Biancucci works within a strict plant-forward framework championed by winemaker Virginie Saverys, pairing the kitchen's output with Avignonesi's own wines against views across the Tuscan hills.
Montepulciano, Italy
Set within the Salcheto Organic Winery in a 13th-century farmhouse outside Montepulciano, Indigeno holds a Michelin Plate for home-style Tuscan cooking grounded in estate-grown and locally sourced ingredients. Shared oak tables, seasonal specialities like bread gnocchetti with creamed broad beans, and an outdoor terrace in summer make it one of the more honest expressions of the Val di Chiana's agricultural traditions.
Montepulciano, Italy
A long-running address on Montepulciano's main corso, La Grotta applies a lightening hand to the Sienese kitchen without abandoning its foundations. Dishes like pappardelle with guinea fowl and prunes or slow-cooked suckling pig with chard read as the region's larder treated with some discipline. It is the kind of table that makes sense after a morning walking the town's Renaissance streets.
Montepulciano, Italy
A Michelin Plate-recognised trattoria in Montepulciano's historic centre, Le Logge del Vignola serves well-prepared regional Tuscan cooking in a setting that trades on the old town's medieval fabric. The room is compact and tables sit close together, but the cooking holds its own: locally sourced ingredients handled with care, and a price point (€€) that makes it one of the more serious-yet-accessible options in the Val d'Orcia hill town circuit.

Montepulciano, Italy
Set among cypress and olive groves minutes from Montepulciano, Precise Tale Poggio Alla Sala is a 71-room property that earned a Michelin Key in 2024. Its design draws on Silk Route references spanning Istanbul to Shanghai, layering Eastern influences over a Tuscan base.

Montepulciano, Italy
A Michelin Selected property set along Via di Montenero on the slopes above Montepulciano, Borgo San Vincenzo represents the smaller, place-rooted tier of Tuscan accommodation, where the surrounding Vino Nobile vineyards and hilltop townscape do much of the storytelling.
Montepulciano, Italy
A Michelin Selected property in the hills above Montepulciano, Villa Cicolina sits within the agricultural heartland of Tuscany's Vino Nobile zone. The setting, countryside quiet, vineyard proximity, and the ancient hill town visible from the grounds, positions it as a base for serious wine-country engagement rather than a transit stop between Siena and Cortona.
Montepulciano, Italy
A Michelin Selected property in the hills above Montepulciano, Villa Poggiano occupies a restored historic estate with direct views over the Val di Chiana. The property sits within the smaller, design-led tier of Tuscan villa hotels, where architectural integrity and agricultural setting carry more weight than resort-scale amenities.

Montepulciano, Italy
A MICHELIN Selected wine resort on the southern edge of Montepulciano, Villa Svetoni occupies a working estate within one of Tuscany's most tightly defined DOCG zones.

Montepulciano
Selected entries from the current guide for Montepulciano.
Montepulciano, Italy

Montepulciano, Italy
Avignonesi is a Montepulciano wine estate for travellers who care about how Sangiovese changes with soil, farming and exposure. The experience is polished but agricultural in focus: vineyard views, terrace tastings, cellar context and a portfolio anchored in Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, with biodynamic certification giving the visit a sharper environmental frame.
Montepulciano, Italy
Azienda Casale Daviddi is a traditional Montepulciano winery rooted in family viticulture and Sangiovese-led Tuscan reds. The draw is not theatrical hospitality but a classic Vino Nobile frame: Prugnolo Gentile, DOCG discipline, rustic cellar atmosphere, and a price tier that keeps the focus on regional substance rather than luxury staging.
Montepulciano, Italy
Bindella frames Montepulciano through Sangiovese, hill-country farming and estate hospitality rather than cellar-door spectacle. The Vallocaia estate pairs vineyard and cellar tours with structured tastings, seasonal Tuscan cooking and a quiet, view-led setting that suits travelers who want the land to explain the wine.
Montepulciano, Italy
Boscarelli is a family-run Montepulciano estate shaped by Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG, Sangiovese and the clay-heavy soils of Cervognano di Montepulciano. The appeal is not spectacle but scale: guided tastings, cellar context, vineyard views and a production culture built around Prugnolo Gentile, with roughly 30 hectares under vine and about 150,000 bottles produced annually.
Montepulciano, Italy
Canneto is a Montepulciano wine estate shaped by organic viticulture, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG, and a Swiss-Tuscan ownership story dating to 1988. The draw is the estate context: south-facing vineyards at 350–400 meters, cellar-led tastings, terrace views, and a portfolio centered on Sangiovese-led reds rather than spectacle.
Montepulciano, Italy
Cantina del Giusto is a small family-run winery in Montepulciano’s Acquaviva area, focused on estate-grown Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG rather than large-scale visitor theatre. Its interest lies in the way Sangiovese, Canaiolo Nero and Mammolo are handled through long cellar aging, with a Tuscan atmosphere built around vineyards, barrel rooms and family continuity.
Montepulciano, Italy
Cantina del Redi gives Montepulciano’s cooperative tradition a more focused, cellar-led expression: Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG shaped through selected local crus, Sangiovese and Canaiolo, and aging in oak barrels and tonneaux. The draw is the historic barrel-room setting and the way the portfolio frames the Poliziano territory without pretending to be a private-estate fantasy.
Montepulciano, Italy
Contucci is a historic Montepulciano winery where Vino Nobile is read through place: clay-sand soils, Prugnolo Gentile, long aging, and cellars built into the town’s medieval fabric. The tone is low-key rather than ceremonial, with heritage doing the heavy lifting and tastings priced at an accessible level for a serious Tuscan address.
Montepulciano, Italy
Croce di Febo is a small biodynamic estate in Montepulciano, focused on Sangiovese, native varieties, and parcel-led winemaking rather than scale. Its appeal is the close reading of clay-limestone vineyards, amphora and mixed-vessel cellar work, and a quieter Tuscan wine experience built around estate tastings, cave tastings, and a town enoteca.
Montepulciano, Italy
Fanetti - Tenuta Santa Agnese is a traditional Montepulciano estate for visitors who want Vino Nobile framed by cellar tasting, vineyard context, and a quiet rural setting. The emphasis is Sangiovese-led still red wine, with guided Italian and English tastings that make the appellation feel practical rather than abstract.
Montepulciano, Italy
Fassati belongs to Montepulciano’s quieter, tradition-led side: a Tuscan winery estate shaped by Sangiovese, local DOC/DOCG categories, and a medieval-town setting rather than spectacle. The draw is terroir education, with Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Rosso di Montepulciano, Vinsanto, and Grappa giving visitors a compact reading of the area’s wine culture.
Montepulciano, Italy
Fattoria del Cerro gives Montepulciano’s Vino Nobile tradition a large-estate reading: 181 hectares of vines, Prugnolo Gentile at the center, and a visitor format built around cellar tours, food pairings, and open Tuscan grounds. The draw is scale with specificity, especially the estate’s role as the largest private producer of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG.
Montepulciano, Italy
Fattoria Palazzo Vecchio reads as classic Montepulciano enotourism: a family-run hill estate in Valiano with Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG at its center. The appeal is terroir rather than spectacle, with Sangiovese-led reds, Vin Santo tradition, historic cellars, vineyard views, and a hospitality format built around guided tastings and Tuscan food pairings.
Montepulciano, Italy
Fattoria Svetoni is a wine-led Tuscan estate in Montepulciano where the vineyard, cellar, villa, spa and restaurant operate as one hospitality format. Its strongest argument is terroir: Sangiovese, known locally as Prugnolo Gentile, is framed through altitude, appellation hierarchy and a resort experience built directly above the cellars.
Montepulciano, Italy
Gattavecchi is a four-generation Montepulciano winery where Vino Nobile is framed through old stone, Sangiovese, Prugnolo Gentile, and cellar time. The draw is the town-centre setting: 13th-century underground rooms, an Etruscan tomb reference, local food pairings, and terrace tastings that connect the wine to Tuscany’s agricultural and historical layers.
Montepulciano, Italy
I Cipressi is a small family winery in the Montepulciano hills, shaped around quiet estate visits rather than large-scale wine tourism. The draw is the low-key, winemaker-led tasting format, with still red wines and a countryside setting that keeps the focus on place, conversation, and the rhythms of Tuscan vineyard hospitality.
Montepulciano, Italy
Icario Winery fits the more composed side of Montepulciano wine tourism: Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG, vineyard views, contemporary art, and villa hospitality rather than a simple cellar-door stop. The key quality signal is its Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG 2021, awarded Best in Show at the Decanter World Wine Awards 2026.
Montepulciano, Italy
Il Conventino is a small organic estate winery outside Montepulciano, focused on Sangiovese-led reds within the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG tradition.

Montepulciano, Italy
Il Faggeto reads as a small Montepulciano countryside winery shaped by the red-wine hierarchy of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG. Its appeal is less about hospitality theatre than place: Sangiovese and Colorino, wooded Tuscan hills, lake views, and a focused ladder running from Rosso di Montepulciano to Vino Nobile and Riserva.
Montepulciano, Italy
Il Macchione is a family-run Montepulciano wine property shaped around Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG, guided tastings, vineyard context, and cellar work rather than resort-style hospitality. Its identity sits in the details: hand harvesting, dry-ice temperature control, pied de cuve fermentation, and long wood aging for Vino Nobile and Riserva wines.
Montepulciano, Italy
Il Molinaccio is a small organic wine estate and agriturismo in Montepulciano, set in a restored old mill with vineyards, olive groves, orchards and oak trees around it. Its appeal lies in the way Vino Nobile, Rosso di Montepulciano and IGT Toscana wines are folded into a rural Tuscan stay rather than treated as a quick tasting-room stop.
Montepulciano, Italy
La Braccesca is an Antinori estate experience in Montepulciano, set between the Vino Nobile and Cortona wine zones. Its appeal is the way Sangiovese and Syrah are interpreted through guided vineyard-and-cellar formats, food-paired tastings, lunch programs, and a cooking-school track rather than a simple pour-and-leave tasting room.
