Why Montepulciano Feels Like Tuscany’s Best Kept Secret

Montepulciano is one of the most beautiful hill towns in Tuscany, and somehow it still feels untouched. In this video, we explore Montepulciano in the heart of Val d’Orcia, discovering Renaissance architecture, world-class Vino Nobile wine, slow living culture, and landscapes that feel straight out of a movie.

As a multicultural couple, Ethiopian and Italian, we experience this place through culture, heritage, and connection. From medieval streets and panoramic views to wine tastings, local food, and hidden corners most tourists never see, this is the Tuscany people dream about, without the crowds of Florence or the chaos of hot-spot destinations.

If you’re planning a trip to Italy, dreaming of Tuscany, or searching for authentic Italian travel experiences, this is the guide you didn’t know you needed.
