I am planning a trip with my spouse to Tuscany for April 2023. We are looking to stay at an agriturismo for 2 nights somewhere in the Montalcino/Montepulciano area. We are huge Brunello di Montalcino fans and would love an agriturismo that provides a "Zero Kilometer" meal. Does anyone have any recommendations?
In addition, I have ordered the Florence/Tuscany guidebook, which should be coming in a few days. Should I expect to find some agriturismo recommendations in there as well? Thanks!
I don’t have experience staying in agriturismi in that area but in the thread below I suggested several websites that specialize on that type of accommodations:

I can recommend a small one near Montepulciano, we spent a week there in October of 2021, Agriturismo Gognanello.
We stayed for a week at La Bruciata just outside Montepulciano and would stay there again. There are 1 and 2 bedroom apartments. They are new, but you would think they are old from the architecture. Breakfast was fabulous! - made from their own eggs and fruits from their farm. She also provides a full dinner the night of your arrival. Homemade doughnuts appeared on our kitchen table when we returned back to the Villa one day! We had picked up a car in Chiusi. The location was perfect for driving through that part of Tuscany, Val d'Orcia and Umbria. We sat on our balcony and watched as they trimmed the grape vines. RS mentions it in his book, although I found it on my own on the internet! We had a driver that took us to a farm where peccorino cheese is produced, and then to a vineyard in Montalcino for a tour and lunch with 5 wines (or was it 6?!), hence the reason for the driver! We loved everything about this place!
