Montepulciano

Montepulciano is a medieval and Renaissance hill town in southern Tuscany sitting high on a 605-meter limestone ridge. It's known for its vino nobile red wine and stunning views of the Tuscan countryside. The main street, Via Grande, stretches through the town center and is lined with shops, cafes, and restaurants. It's also a place to shop for cantuccini (almond biscotti) and fine wines at the various cantines for which Montepulciano is famous.
