HISTORICAL CELLAR TALOSA A LITTLE JEWEL IN MONTEPULCIANO - I was in this winery together with my partner three days ago, I must say that it was a very interesting visit firstly for the truly fascinating location given that we are talking about a winery founded around 1400, then for the goodness of the tasting, and finally with the skill of the girl who guided us in this excellent experience 👏

Truly unique experience - This winery is truly unique and offers a very interesting experience. Apart from the beauty of the cellars explained in a very exhaustive way which I don't think you will see in other cellars of Montepulciano, we were offered a tasting of 4 wines from the cellar and typical local products (extreme praise for the exquisite truffle honey), the sommelier Luigi he immediately put us at ease and, understanding that we were laymen when it came to wine, he gave us a real basic lesson on super exhaustive tastings. Luigi himself also adapted my dish as I am a vegetarian (thank you). A super thank you also to the girl at the shop whose name unfortunately I don't know who exceeded the service hours just to be able to return a forgotten item to me. Thanks again from the bottom of my heart for everything. 🫶🏼🙏🏽

Wonderful day spent at 2 wineries and a little time in 2 of the villages. Very well done and worth every penny. - Mikali (not sure how to spell) was a great source of information. He gave us time in a few villages which was not expected. Will definitely do again!!

Great tasting and tour! - Our host for the tour was Luigi, he provided a great wine tasting and tour of the Wine caves and the Talosa wines they produce. He was able to tailor the tour and tasting to all the guests. There were people on the tour with technical questions of their wine production and also novices to wine tasting. Everyone enjoyed the tasting and tour.

It can be improved - Very beautiful cellar, the oldest, certainly the person who showed us and let us taste the wines was not very helpful, in fact he seemed annoyed by the fact that for them January is an off-season period Also the tasting of ham salami etc which was supposed to accompany the old wines In short, it's a shame because the cellar deserves it
