La Sosta

Montalcino


Specialising in organic, biodynamic and natural wines, this casually stylish enoteca is a good choice for those after a glass or two of wine accompanied by a light repast rather than a full meal. Snacks include cheese and salumi boards, pastas, salads and bruschette. Sit inside, at one of the streetside tables or on the rear terrace.
