Details
Perched atop a hill in the prestigious Vino Nobile di Montepulciano region, a charming village called Valiano is nestled along the scenic route between Montepulciano and Cortona. It's here that a century-old winery stands, surrounded by lush vineyards that stretch out in every direction. This historic estate was once the heart of the esteemed Fattoria di Valiano farm, which dates back to 1300. Strategically located on the border of the Papal States and the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, the estate has borne witness to significant historical events, including the remarkable reclamation and drainage of the Chiana Valley. This remarkable feat of engineering and hydraulics was first envisioned by Leonardo da Vinci in 1500 and later developed by Antonio da Sangallo. Tuscany's most fertile region, Val di Chiana, provides the perfect backdrop for producing the esteemed Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG, one of Italy's finest wines.
