A walk through time, in the heart of Montepulciano.
Each course is born from a real place in the town—a street, an ancient gesture, a precise moment in its history.
From the hill surrounded by water, to the farmhouses, from medieval lanes to Renaissance Piazza Grande, when wine becomes method and identity.
A story built on fire, bread, herbs, meat and time.
Essential gestures that, over the centuries, turn into culture.
In 1685 Francesco Redi crowned the wine of Montepulciano as the “king of all wines”.
This year, four hundred years after his birth, that gesture finds a new voice at the table.
In 1980 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano became Italy’s first DOCG.
Not a finish line, but the recognition of a legacy.
This journey begins here.
Where memory becomes cuisine.
Eight eras.
Eight courses.
One story to live at the table.
