Icario is in Montepulciano, in a corner of Tuscany bordering Umbria, a corner that still maintains its authentic nature and uncontaminated beauty. It is a territory where there are no large factories, but small shops, artisans and a culture of hospitality.
Montepulciano is a perfectly preserved small centre, so much so that it is called the Pearl of the Renaissance because of its beautiful Renaissance buildings. As a centre for art, music and full of history, Montepulciano is also one of the oldest area
