Terre di Nano

At 500m altitude, the estate sits on a hilltop overlooking the jewels of Tuscan medieval and renaissance architecture: Montepulciano, Pienza, and the hamlet of Monticchiello. The views spread out over the valleys of Val di Chiana, Monte Amiata and Val d'Orcia, where the historic little towns of San Quirico, Rocca, Castiglione, Bagno Vignoni, Montalcino, Montefolloncio and Buonconvento are nestled in the landscape. A restaurant service is available upon request for the guests of the estate.

Immersed in one of Italy's superior areas of viniculture, the vineyards of farm border the region where Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is produced, and the estate is less than 20 minutes from the world-renown Brunello di Montalcino vineyards.
