Montalbano

The Montalbano is the hilly ridge between Florence, Pistoia, and Prato, birthplace of Leonardo da Vinci and a historic wine region, partly overlapping with the Carmignano designation. Sangiovese and Canaiolo are the main grapes, producing well-structured reds in an area just minutes from the major Tuscan urban centers. The local wineries offer tastings easily combined with cultural visits, among Medici villas and historic villages. Book your tasting at the same price as the winery.
