A GLASS… AND A WATER BOTTLE: THE PERFECT SYNTHESIS OF A TRIP TO MONTEPULCIANO
When you think of Montepulciano, the immediate image is that of a glass of Vino Nobile, one of the most internationally appreciated excellences. But there is another accessory that will make your stay here even more special: the water bottle.
In this corner of Tuscany, sustainability and beauty go hand in hand, and those who visit Montepulciano can take advantage of a simple but precious service. Bring a water bottle with you and fill it for free at the numerous fountains and water houses distributed throughout the municipality.
Not only in the heart of the historic center, but also in the hamlets, you will find seven public stations where water, good and controlled, still or sparkling, is always available. Here’s where you can recharge with freshness:
• Montepulciano: via A. da Sangallo
• Gracciano: via Piemonte
• Valiano: via Padule
• Acquaviva: ex fierale gardens
• Sant’Albino: via dei Pini
• Montepulciano Stazione: via Firenze
• Abbadia: via Neruda
The public fountains are scattered throughout the historic center and in the main residential areas, ensuring a regenerating stop wherever you are.
A gesture for the environment and your wallet
Free water is not only a convenient service for tourists, but also an important sustainable action. Drinking from the dispenser means reducing the use of plastic and contributing to the reduction of waste. Consider that for every liter of bottled water, up to 250g of CO2 are produced, an environmental impact 6000 times higher than the consumption of water from the tap. Using these distribution points means making a conscious choice, with both economic and ecological benefits.
This service also extends to schools and public buildings in Montepulciano, where providers are bringing concrete results in reducing CO2 and costs.
