Montepulciano

Montepulciano is one of Tuscany's highest hilltop towns, and is rich in Renaissance era buildings...it is widely known for the Vino Nobile produced here...delicious wine that, over three days, I sampled repeatedly (in order to confirm it's quality of course)...the church below the town is Madonna di San Biagio, dating from the 16th century

I remember this beautiful town, and pressing grapes with an old fashioned press with some of the locals. Thanks for the memories.

Such a lovely place, and if you climb up there you can feel virtuous about eating a good meal :) This image gives a fine sense of its height.
