When darkness is coming: Boccon DiVino – Montalcino

It is “THE” trattoria in Montalcino, since 1992. A gem set in a postcard view, where you can enjoy tried and tested recipes that never betray their territorial roots. In the kitchen, the next generation with Alessandra brought fresh air and it was love at once.
We are in Montalcino, the homeland of Brunello, this is the place where we come to drink the niche products of the very small producers (there are always many).

Signature dishes: Potato gnocchi with pecorino cheese and Tuscan truffle – Sliced meat (Tagliata) from Maremma breed with wild plums
