What to see:
- Piazza Grande, framed by the cathedral and the town hall, with a tower you can climb; it stood in for Volterra in Twilight: New Moon
- San Biagio, a Renaissance church by Antonio da Sangallo the Elder, finished in 1545, just below the walls
- The wine cellars of Cantina Contucci and Cantina De Ricci, cut deep into the hill beneath the town
What to do:
- Taste Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, made mainly from Sangiovese, here called Prugnolo Gentile
- Walk the Corso uphill from Porta al Prato to Piazza Grande, past Renaissance palaces
- Come for the Bravio delle Botti in late August, when eight districts race 176-pound (80 kg) barrels uphill
What to try:
- Panzanella, a summer salad of day-old Tuscan bread, tomatoes, red onion, and basil
- Cantucci, crisp almond biscuits for dipping in Vin Santo, Tuscany’s dessert wine
Take note:
- Cars can’t enter the historic center, so expect a drop-off at a town gate and a steep walk up
