Ciao from Toscana
We’ve been exploring the ancient hill towns of central and southern Tuscany. Volterra is very special, as are Montepulciano and Montalcino. Our group visited Innocenti, a small family-owned winery producing really excelling wines in Montefollonico.
While exploring the area our central base has been Siena, where we’ve stayed a few nights. Siena is an absolute gem and a must-see on any visit to Tuscany.
