Guided tastings for “Calici di Stelle a Montepulciano” 2024
The wine&food proposal for the night of August 10th in the Tuscan village
This next Saturday 10th August 2024 Calici di Stelle comes back in Montepulciano. Between the different types of tastings, the Guided ones are unmissable and take place in two different but beautiful locations: Vicolo del Leone Terrace and Loggiato della Canonica di San Biagio.
This particular type of tasting, organized in two different time-shifts, includes the tasting of more than one Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG. For the occasion, wines are also paired with refined products from five different local producers. Thirteen are instead the participant wineries whose producers will personally present their wines giving unexpected details about the ageing and productive process. The pouring of the wine is completely in charge of FISAR wine-stewards. Are you curious about the producers? Let’s discover them together!
Vicolo del Leone Terrace
Situated at the end of Vicolo del Leone and adjacent to the Town Hall, the terrace overlooks Valdichiana hills. For the event of Calici di Stelle in Montepulciano, this cozy square becomes the most marvellous lounge of the village.
From 7 p.m., at the Vicolo del Leone Terrace, you’ll have the opportunity to taste the wines of Cantina del Redi, Casale Daviddi and Tenuta Trerose. From 9.30 p.m. are instead scheduled the realities of Antico Colle, Le Bèrne, Lunadoro and Tenuta Golo.
