Wine barrel rolling contest in Montepulciano in August is a great celebration of the regions wine production.
This is an excellent event which is invariably well attended. There is lots of pageant, spectacular flag throwing, plenty of drumming and generally getting in the mood for the barrel rolling which in itself is fun to see.
Wine barrel rolling in Montepulciano which is known locally as the Bravio delle Botti takes place on the 26 August 2012 (it is on the last Sunday in August each year).
Montepulciano is a lovely town surrounded by beautiful countryside adorned with vineyards. The wine itself is delicious red, one of the finest Italian wines.
