A fortified hill town in the Val di Chiana at 605 metres, Montepulciano is built along a single main street climbing from the lower gate to the cathedral-fronted Piazza Grande. Renaissance palaces by Antonio da Sangallo the Elder and Giacomo da Vignola line the main corso. The town is the production centre for Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, one of Tuscany's most important DOCG wines, with cantinas open for tasting in cellars beneath the medieval walls.
