Il Molinaccio 14 in Montepulciano

We loved our tasting and would book it again in a heartbeat. We tried three wonderful wines, took one home, and had the chance to ask all our questions about the region. It was the most informative tour of our time in Montepulciano. Go for the Airbnb experience or a tasting! The photo is of our favorite wine.

IL Molinaccio was a real treat from the start. The house is in a peaceful, beautiful spot among vineyards and forest, so it’s easy to relax there. We also really enjoyed the wine tasting and its wonderful selection. Since Il Molinaccio is a boutique wine cellar, the tasting felt personal and authentic instead of commercial. It was fascinating to learn more about the wines. I’d definitely recommend staying at IL Molinaccio and trying the wines.

Sitting among the vines and looking out over the vineyard while tasting Il Molinaccio wines made for an unforgettable time in Tuscany. We tried the Riserva, the Rosso, and the Vino Nobile, and all were phenomenal, exceptional quality. Alessandro and Lizzy were warm and welcoming, and took time to talk us through each wine in detail. What a beautiful setting, and a wonderful experience.

The winery has a pleasant atmosphere, and we thought the wine itself was quite good. Still, the tasting felt significantly overpriced, and for that high cost we expected more from the session. We bought several boxes of wine, but the tasting fee wasn’t waived or discounted. That policy left us quite dissatisfied.
