Montepulciano, is a medieval and Renaissance hill town in southern Tuscany. It is about 130 miles from Florence. Italy. It is known for its Montepulciano grapes and rough spaghetti. That's what I said, rough spaghetti. Proof indicates the town existed in 4th-3rd centuries BC! It old guys. Montepulciano is also known for its thermal baths: natural sulfur springs that flow in S. Albino di Montepulciano. The establishment "Terme di Montepulciano" was set up in 1966 with the objective of utilizing, in a rational and scientific way, the therapeutic properties of these sulfur waters and the "salsobromoidiche" (containing sodium chloride, bromide, iodide) present in the subsoil specializing in the cure of respiratory pathologies and those of the skin. Wow, can't wait to check that out; I am just use to good Horry County water.
