Me and three friends did TerraPura's Winetastic tour and it was incredible! Chris and Mirko took us to two distinctly diverse and unique wineries- one of the oldest Wineries run by a woman and her 2 daughters and the other set in a castle atop one of the most breathtaking views I think I have ever seen. Chris and Mirko were welcoming and very knowledgeable about the cities of Montalcino and Montepulciano- they even took us up to the top of Montalcino city hall for yet another breath taking view! Without a doubt one of my favorite days in Italy.

Sitting on top of a hill at the junction of the 4 valleys that compose its province, Arezzo was a great Etruscan and Roman city. In the Middle Ages Guido Tarlati, important Bishop in the XIV century, turned the city into a great cultural and artistic centre.
