Roberto Rappuoli is a devotee of craft beer who operates a sleek but petite brewery and tap room in the fortified medieval hill town of San Quirico d'Orcia. Specialising in wheat beers, he offers eight varieties including the Iris, a blonde ale named after writer Iris Origo, and the Giulitta, an English-style pale ale named after San Quirico's patron saint.
