Montalcino Winery Recommendations - Honeymoon!

I had lovely tastings at Conti Costanti and Il Palazzone. Very private, no rush through the wines, lively conversation.

When we went we chose two, Biondi Santi & Poggio di Sotto. While Biondi Santi is the Alpha…I think of Poggio di Sotto as the Omega. They are the one house I buy whatever I can afford from.

Poggio di Sotto is not to be missed. Buy all that you can. It’s nearly twice the price here in the US.

We were in Montalcino in May and did a few tastings at some of the more well known producers but also tried out a few smaller places. The most unique and memorable was Nostra Vida (Home - NostraVita Montalcino). The views are incredible, the wine is really good and the tour is truly one of a kind. It is a family operation and the patriarch of the family is an artist. His work is all over the property.
We also really liked Podere Le Ripi (https://www.podereleripi.com/) and would recommend that. The tour was a real learning experience.

Thanks for the recommendations! My wife and I are going to Florence in 3 weeks and have decided to go to Nostra Vita. Can you please advise which tour or tour guide you used to get there? Thanks!

Great thread and feedback. 2nd the recommendation for staying in Pienza. We’ve stayed in the village in the past but booked this spot for our visit in the fall. Great reviews and location
