Chianti Rùfina and Pomino Wine Trail
An enchanting realm is to be found just to the east of Florence where two wines Chianti Rufina DOC and Chianti Pomino DOC are produced that have distinctive personality and characteristics and that have both been popular for centuries.
It was here that Giotto lived out his adolescence and the great Florentine families built their villas and castles.
It was here that Christianity in Tuscany had its major places of worship. The Chianti Rufina and Pomino Wine Trail, to which sixteen wineries and numerous restaurants, farm guesthouses, craftsmen and service agencies belong, was established in this landscape.

Montepulciano Wine Trail
The origins of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano are ancient and inextricably linked with the history of the town - the fact that wineries are perfectly integrated into the fabric of the historic centre is proof of this.
In Politian Archives, a rich cache of documents and articles, show that as far back as 1350, terms and conditions governing trade and the exportation of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano had already been established.
The Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Wine Trail Association was set up on the 8 April 1988 with the objective of promoting and safeguarding the image of the Montepulciano area, considering its wine-growing eminence and outstanding cultural and historical heritage. This Trail seeks to promote this rich heritage as well as its natural features and enological and gastronomic traditions.
The Wine Trail Visitors' Centre is to be found at the Palazzo del Capitano del Popolo, a building of enormous architectural and historical interest situated in the magnificent setting of Piazza Grande onto which the Town Hall, the Cathedral and other Renaissance buildings face.
The Visitors' Centre is easy to reach and very accessible, and is the lynchpin of the Trail providing all relevant information for the enjoyment of the Trail.
