Talosa, owned by the Roman Jacorossi family, is a medium-sized estate, among the 70 or so growers in Montepulciano, with thirty-two hectares of vines just north of the town near Pietrose. Their cellars, in the centre of this precipitous hill-side town, are extraordinary. A visit starts in a shop just below the square and ends three storeys down (via an Etruscan tomb) in a vaulted cellar opening onto a cliff face. Citizens sheltered there during the war.
