Montepulciano is always worth a visit. The hill with the picturesque old town rises strikingly above the surrounding countryside. The highest point is marked by the Fortezza, the medieval fortress. From here you can enjoy a wonderful view over the area. Lake Trasimeno, which lies in the neighboring region of Umbria, sparkles in the distance, with the smaller lake of Chiusi a little closer. The surrounding slopes are planted with vines and olives. There is an "Enoliteca" in the Fortezza, where you can find a wide range of Rosso and Nobile di Montepulciano wines, as well as delicious olive oil.
