Montalcino<\/h4>

\"THE\" origin of the grand Tuscan wine that enjoys worldwide fame: the Brunello.<\/p>\n

From il Salotto, you can reach this picturesque village with its skilfully restored Medieval centre in just 60 minutes and a 60-kilometre drive through the beautiful Maremma. The town is located in a hilly cultural landscape with an elevation of 600 metres. From atop the old battlement you will enjoy a breathtaking view of the seemingly endless pine tree-lined promenades, old country estates and structured vineyards. Do not forget to make a reservation at a top restaurant and treat yourself to a well-deserved break with a glass of Brunello.<\/p>\n

Montepulciano<\/h4>

Similar to the famous Montalcino, Montepulciano is another picturesque and historic mountain village worth seeing. The historic city centre has remained largely unchanged since the 16th century. The Fortezza, the old fortress, has been carefully renovated in recent years and equipped with presentation rooms for the Consorzio del Vino Nobile de Montepulciano. Here, too, the main type of vine is the Sangiovese \u2013 a special clone called Prugnolo Gentile. Very beautiful shopping areas with exquisite shops.<\/p>\n

San Gimignano<\/h4>

This idyllic village is an absolute gem in Tuscany. When strolling through the town, you will feel like visiting an outdoor museum \u2013 that's how many sights and artistic spots it offers. Its many spires have earned it the nickname \"Manhattan of Tuscany\".<\/p>\n

Bolgheri<\/h4>

About an hour's drive north of our \"il Salotto\" resort, you can visit the famous wine region surrounding the town of Bolgheri. You will drive through what are likely Tuscany's grandest and oldest pine tree promenades before getting to this small town. It's a must for wine enthusiasts. Here, too, you will experience the charm and sophistication of Tuscan winemakers.\u00a0 In Bolgheri you can visit the wine estates where the grand wines, such as the Sassicaia Ornellaia, Tignanello, Masseto or Solaia are made, just to name a few. You can sample the so-called \"supertuscans\", which are responsible for making Maremma wines famous throughout the globe. The formerly sleepy little town of Bolgheri in the Maremma region, less than 10 km away from the Mediterranean, became a\u00a0 shining star in the global \"wine firmament\" in the 20th century. The formerly 200 hectare have turned into 1,200 hectare without diminishing its outstanding quality. You can end an eventful day in a relaxed atmosphere in the Osteria Magona<\/strong> before the quick return trip to \"il Salotto\".<\/p>\n

Orvieto<\/h4>

The impressive city with Etruscan origins sits atop a massive tuff cliff in the southwest of the Umbria region. It boasts one of Umbria's richest troves of artistic and cultural treasures.\u00a0 The cathedral is one of the outstanding achievements of Italian architecture.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And don't miss the subterranean Orvieto: An unbelievably large number of artificial caves form a confounding labyrinth with corridors, tunnels, cisterns, wells and cellars.<\/p>\n

Pitigliano<\/h4>

The \"little Jerusalem\" of Tuscany, labyrinthine, historic and vibrant just like the big original. In the 19th century, the total Jewish population reached a proportion of 20%. The synagogue below the cathedral remains and serves as evidence of this era characterised by its Jewish influences. Pitigliano is also known for its wine, including the award-winning \"Bianco di Pitigliano\".<\/p>\n

Grosseto<\/h4>

With a population of 80,000, an old town worth seeing and the imposing Medici city wall from the 16th century, Grosseto is the centre of the Maremma region . The \"Corso Carducci\", the pedestrian shopping area, is the perfect place for a stroll. The grandiose city centre is reminiscent of Siena. Fashion and jewellery stores, restaurants, bars as well as ice cream parlours and caf\u00e9s line the streets. In the evenings, a vibrant nightlife unfurls inside and in front of the countless bars and restaurants.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The culinary festival \"Maremma Wine & Food Shire\"<\/strong> is held annually \u2013 usually in May. For \u20ac5, visitors can purchase a wine glass, stroll from booth to booth, taste the excellent Tuscan wines and have their glass refilled as often as they like. A real adventure!<\/p>\n
