Podere della Bruciata, nestled in the scenic hills of Montepulciano, offers an authentic Tuscan wine experience that beautifully combines tradition, sustainability, and hospitality.
This family-run winery specializes in organic and natural viticulture, producing a range of wines including Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Super Tuscans, and limited-edition "cru" wines crafted from native grape varieties like Sangiovese, Pugnitello, and Canaiolo.
During our visit, we enjoyed a guided tour that began with a leisurely walk through the vineyards, followed by an exploration of the wine cellar. The experience culminated in a tasting session on the panoramic terrace, where we sampled a selection of their exceptional wines. Each wine was thoughtfully paired with a generous "tagliere" featuring high-quality local products, including artisanal cheeses and cured meats, enhancing the overall tasting experience.
The setting was idyllic, with breathtaking views of the surrounding Tuscan countryside providing a perfect backdrop to the tasting. The staff were knowledgeable and passionate, sharing insights into their winemaking philosophy and the unique characteristics of each wine.

Read moreIt is hard to know what to say to convey what an incredible experience this was. Andreas, the owner, was simply wonderful! He shared with us his story of being the 3rd generation winemaker.

Also, what a wonderful approach to life!

Unfortunately, it is likely all downhill from here for the rest of our...
Read moreAn amazing experience. We popped in here unexpectedly and we are so glad we did. The owner was an absolutely lovely guy who took us through the inspiration for their wines as well as the winemaking process. We loved the natural aspect of their winemaking process which is not to try and “fix” the wine but to let the grapes speak for themselves and work with what they are providing. He was very knowledgeable and passionate and it showed.
We got 4 very generous tastings as well as a platter made from a lot of produce grown on the property - it was one of the best platters we have ever had. The setting and winery are also stunning, and we stayed for a very long time.
Would recommend making this a stop...
