Discovering the Nobile Wine in Valdichiana, Tuscany

Nestled in the heart of Tuscany, Valdichiana Senese is a region that enchants visitors with its timeless landscapes, historic villages, and exquisite flavors. This vast valley, stretching between Tuscany and Umbria, is home to nine charming towns: Cetona, Chianciano Terme, Chiusi, Montepulciano, San Casciano dei Bagni, Sarteano, Sinalunga, Torrita di Siena and Trequanda.


The Nobile Wine road unites these villages, promoting local culture, traditional cuisine, and historical landmarks. Here, ancient Etruscan roots blend with medieval and Renaissance influences, creating a setting of unparalleled beauty. The region is celebrated as an "Italian wine area" for its exceptional enological heritage. 

Montepulciano, in particular, is renowned for its high-quality Sangiovese grapes, which form the base of the prestigious Nobile Wine, one of the most esteemed Italian red wines.



Beyond its vineyards, Valdichiana boasts an impressive gastronomic culture. The region’s olive groves produce some of Italy’s finest extra virgin olive oil. We also have traditional dishes like the succulent tagliata di Chianina, or starter products such as Cinta Senese cold cuts.


What is the Strada del Vino Nobile di Montepulciano?

By joining our Horseback Riding Tour in Tuscany you will embark on an extraordinary journey along the "Strada del Vino Nobile di Montepulciano."

Established in 1998, this route is more than just a scenic wine road—it’s an association dedicated to preserving and promoting the rich heritage of the Valdichiana Senese area.

The association unites winemakers, local delicacy producers, restaurateurs, hoteliers, and spa owners, as well as municipal authorities from the region’s picturesque towns. Together, they work to share the authentic essence of the area through cultural, enogastronomic, and wellness experiences.


The Nobile Wine is the crown jewel of Montepulciano’s wine making tradition, embodying centuries of expertise. Produced from the Sangiovese grape (locally known as Prugnolo Gentile), this Italian red wine undergoes a meticulous aging process of at least two years in oak barrels, resulting in a robust yet elegant taste. In 1980, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano became the first Italian wine to receive the prestigious DOCG certification, further solidifying its status as a symbol of quality and excellence.


Horseback Riding Tour in Tuscany: Discovering Nobile Wine Road

During our Horseback Riding Tour in Tuscany, you will have the unique opportunity to explore the vineyards where Nobile Wine is born. With over 90 wineries producing this exquisite Italian red wine, Montepulciano is an absolute paradise for wine enthusiasts.


As you ride through the vineyards, you’ll learn about the history and production of this prestigious wine. Some say the name Nobile originated in the 18th century when only the aristocracy could afford this superior-quality wine. 

Others believe it was named after the noble families who produced it.


Regardless of its origins, the Nobile Wine remains a distinguished product of Montepulciano’s Italian wine area, offering a taste of Tuscany’s rich winemaking heritage.



The Delicacies of Valdichiana on the Horseback Riding Tour in Tuscany

During the Horseback Riding Tour in Tuscany, you won’t just admire historic roads—you’ll also indulge in the finest local delicacies.


Cinta Senese Cold Cuts

Cinta Senese pigs, an ancient Tuscan breed, are known for their rich and flavorful meat. These free-range pigs roam the forests, feeding on acorns and wild herbs, which give their meat a distinctive taste. Their high content of oleic acid makes them a healthier choice, with a tender texture that melts in your mouth. Selected cold cuts from this DOP heritage are a must have!


Pienza Pecorino Cheese

Made from sheep’s milk and aged in oak barrels, Pienza Pecorino is a culinary masterpiece. It pairs beautifully with cured meats and honey, offering a symphony of flavors that embodies Tuscany’s rustic elegance.


Pici all'Aglione

Pici, a traditional hand-rolled pasta, is typically served with "aglione" sauce, made from a unique garlic variety native to Valdichiana. This dish highlights the simplicity and excellence of Italian cuisine.
