10 Gift & Specialty Shops in Montepulciano That You Shouldn't Miss
Montepulciano makes a great base for exploring the Tuscan hill towns. Just make sure to pack well-broken-in walking shoes, because cars aren’t allowed in the center of town. Explore the Duomo of Montepulciano and the Palazzo Tarugi… or sample the local wine, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, which has been praised for centuries.

Copper and Brass for the house and the kitchen Hand made according to ancient rules
Reviewed By Woodswomanwalking - Colorado, United States
Bottega del Rame Is a must stop in Montepulciano. And Rico Mazzetti is a third-generation copper craftsman. I’ve been to this shop at least four times, and always try to purchase something even if it is only a serving spoon. I just ordered two bigger copper pots with lids directly from the shop and they came to my house in the United States in four days. It is so exciting to unwrap items for my kitchen from this wonderful place. As soon as we are able to travel to Europe again, the first among my planned trips will be Tuscany and I will definitely go back to visit Mr. Mazzetti, his staff, and joyously wander around in his copper shop. Put it in your plans if you will be in Tuscany. You won’t regret it. Note: in order to post this review, I had to select a date. However my options were limited for that selection. I have been to the shop four times between 2006 and 2016.

I purchased Marcato pasta machine online and I just got it delivered to my door step directly from Italy to Singapore. What I really appreciated is how they packaged the product; extra cushioning material, bubble wrap and taping to avoid any sort of damages in transit. I received in a perfect condition and the machine is such a beautiful one ( Atlas 150 green) that can just sit on my dry kitchen and brightens my day by just looking at it. It came with a message letter and a discount coupon for a next purchase too. I appreciated these were written in English too. One day when COVID restriction is lifted I hope to visit the store in Italy.

Following a 2 hour drive from Pisa to our villa we were met by the villa owner who offered to take us to La Dogana for an early evening meal. The restaurant is typical of the area with a great food choice. Its attached to Palazzo Vecchio and its vineyard. The wine selection is excellent and we did buy some to bring back to the UK. The service and food was excellent, along with an excellent playlist on the night. We did have 3 courses but didn't feel too full as the portion sizes were excellent. A great meal at a great venue and we had already decided to revisit during our dstay.

Walked-in August 2018, loved several paintings and purchased one. It arrived at our home in Dallas impeccably packed and in perfect condition. We went back in Labor Day weekend 2019 and purchased another painting with equally great results. Florentina was very helpful and her prices compared favorably to those from other galleries in Tuscany with the same painters. We are contacting her to buy another painting and have it shipped, even though we can only see it through pictures since we had to cancel our 2020 trip due to COVID. Hope we can make it back soon.
