True Taste Of Tuscany
Reviewed By Mikey-Nishy - Jamaica, Caribbean
We were treated with Respect and Equality from we entered the door until we left. I learnt that was not a norm in Italy depending on where you are. That being said... Our host was very engaging and enthusiastic about imparting knowledge of the Winery and its processes and we learned a bit from her. The wines were also very good, we took a bottle to go. Tasting room is modern and relaxing and has a nice view of the vineyard just outside. Thanks for a great experience Poliziano!

Our hotel in Montepulciano arranged this tour for us and we are so glad that they did. We've done several winery tours in the past and I can honestly say that this one was the most informative we ever done. We learned so much about the entire process. The tasting was wonderful as well, as they offered several different types of wine to try. We ended up purchasing an entire case to have shipped back to the US. Our packaged arrived a few weeks later and we've already enjoyed one of the bottles. Each time we open one it will remind us of our amazing Italian trip. I highly recommend both the tour and their wines.

We thoroughly recommend Icario, both for the wine and the experience. The wine tasting with Lucia was informative and a lot of fun (even in these dark days of COVID). The winery and grounds are beautiful and the passion of the owners towards wine-making is evident. You should definitely include this winery in your itinerary while in Montepulciano.

We stayed in Cortona from Sept to December this last year (2019) and went looking for some wine to drink during our stay. We went to several wine tasting places in Cortona but by far the BEST was Gabriella's place. What a fantastic and loving person she is and her wines are outstanding! We even bought a case for her to ship to us in California! I recommended her to several people who all went and said they had a great experience also. So if you're in the area, go see firey lovely Gabriella and taste her wine and her Lemoncello!

I was visiting Italy last November and this is my favorite wine in the world! Nobile di Multipulciano. I've been drinking it for 18yrs and I was driving around with a friend for 3hrs trying to find this winery. Finally we stopped and asked someone to help us and we called and they were going to close and she stayed because I told her I had traveled from Hawaii! It was the most amazing experience. She poured us wine and gave us the VIP treatment. I was heading to Ohio for the Holidays and I took 2 bottles with me for New Year's Eve!!! Everyone loved it. It brought me so much joy. I highly recommend their wine of course! But the Service was incredible as well. It's worth it.
