Tuscany/Umbria

[Paco]

I'm a newcomer to this board and hope someone has some information about Tuscany and Umbria. We have rented a villa in Umbria (near the town of Todi) and will be spending a couple of weeks at the end of this month with a dozen friends.

Can anyone tell me about wine tasting in Italy? We'll be taking day trips to Montalcino, Sienna, Montepulciano and other areas.
