Discovering the underground city - Very interesting tour of the Ercolani winery to discover the underground city. Romina, our professional and very nice guide, enriched the visit with anecdotes and explanations about medieval history and the production of the excellent wine stored there... the tasting at the end was much appreciated. advised

Great wines with great friends! Great experience! - Found this Enoteca on Instagram prior to arriving in Montepulciano. The venue is absolutely beautiful and a cool respite from the summer heat. Our guide, Luigi, was very knowledgeable about the wines of Talosa, as well as the entire Tuscan region. The wines were all delicious, generous pours, and the cheese and meat selections paired well with the wines that were served. Highly recommend!!

Unique experience - The cellar is very fascinating to visit, in the cave dug below the entrance there is a world waiting to be discovered, told and explained in detail by Luigi, a young, polite and friendly expert sommelier, ready to explain every step, tasting after tasting , from the Talosa winery, family stories and the production of the Nobile di Montepulciano wine (wonderful). Highly recommended.

Wonderful setting for wine tasting - Luigi was excellent host and very informative about Talosa wines. Location in central Montepulciano is historical is easy to find and sets the mood with aging barrels and bigger stories beyond this review. I suggest contact Talosa directly for booking. There was a major breakdown in communications between this tour operator and Talosa. Tour operator booked us for date time facilty not available. Luigi did it right and made it possible for us to enjoy the experience despite being closed. Great story. Great wines. Wonderful setting and delivery of sampling. We bought 12 bottles of different price points and paid for shipping back to USA.

Great wine in gorgeous location - Really interesting wine tasting in a super cool location. Luigi was fun and interesting, the wine and charcuterie was delicious, and the cellar (and walk down to it!) was fascinating. Suggest downloading directions since GPS was sketchy in Montepulciano, and the Talosa shop is tucked away so it was a little tricky to find.
