Italian Restaurant - Montalcino - Boccon di Vino

If you want a genuine family restaurant, steeped in tradition with wonderful Tuscan food then Boccon di Vino just outside the town of Montalcino is it. 


The views are the best I have seen from a restaurant overlooking the beautiful Tuscan Valley of Val D'Orcia


The menu is typical Tuscan with favourites including Pinci and Cinghiale





We went there on a balmy Friday night in July






The setting is just fabulous for the romantic couple or the larger groups



It has a fabulous wine list with classic Brunello from current and early vintages. Here is the page with the father of Brunello, Biondi Santi



We selected a San Polo 2007 which was expertly opened and served


And of course not forgetting the food which was very good. We especially appreciated the aged pecorino with the Brunello




So ciao from Montalcino and Toscana
