Fantastic! Francesco Maramai offered a first class tasting of beautiful wines from smaller vineyards . He is very knowledgeable and also has a fantastic sense of humor. His English is wonderful. He does also own a wine club so there is a good natured pitch but it was totally no pressure. This all takes place in his restaurant in montepulciano downstairs in a bar area lined with bottles of wines. I say try this experience! Margie D. New York

Incredible evening with Tassos! The tasting was held in a private level of Osteria del Borgo in Montepulciano. We were offered a lovely plate of local meats, cheeses, and bread in addition to our preference of sparking or still water, and 9 beautiful wines from the area. (Even some biscotti for the vinsanto!) Tassos was knowledgeable, kind, and incredibly entertaining. Also very well traveled! You can tell he has a passion for the wines and culture of his area. I would recommend this tasting to anyone that just enjoys wine or if you need to study for higher education! I am taking my level 2 somm test soon and this was exceptional for my studies.

Truly a Master Class in Tuscan Wine

We are staying in Montepulcciano with our daughter, her husband and our 4 month-old granddaughter. We arrived to the tasting 10 minutes late but Tassos immediately made us feel welcome, helped us get settled, and even helped carry the stroller down the stairs. There was one other couple present, and once we were settled in, Tassos introduced us to the wonderful story of the region's wines. He provided a fascinating narrative of the region, the different terroirs and microclimates, and the impact these had on how the grapes were expressed differently in each wine we tasted. We started with one of the few whites from the region, a refreshing Lyra/Hydra blend, and an explanation of why the high acidity was a perfect refreshing wine after climbing the hills of Montepulciano. We then were provided an insider's tour of 6 variations of the might Sangiovese, learned the standards associated with the appelations of wine in the region (and how those standards could inhibit creativity), and finished with an Amarone and then a Vinsanto to close things off. The story of each wine was fascinating, and there was a story behind the story for each one. Tassos has a remarkable depth of knowledge about the wines, the regions and the people behind these wines, all shared in an informative and humorous way. This was the best wine tasting we have ever done - the setting is charming, the wines are delicious and Tassos is exceptional.
