Fodor's Expert Review Castello di Meleto
It's a pretty drive up winding roads to this 13th-century fortress. Attached is an 18th-century villa; a wineshop serves tastes of the locally produced wine as well as honeys and jams. It's worth visiting the castle, which is possible by guided-tour only (reservations required), to get a sense of how 18th-century aristocrats lived; the tour also includes a visit to the cellar and to the gardens. If that doesn't interest you, proceed directly to the enoteca for a tasting. Apartments clustered near the castle are available for rent.
