MONTALCINO

In the Brunello vineyards

Tuscany on foot

half day / full day

One of the best known wines in the world, for many the best one.
Most tourists come to Montalcino just to taste the famous Brunello but Montalcino is much more than this.

Perched on a hill overlooking the Val d'Orcia, the most faithful ally of Siena, it was the last defensive castle against the Florentine expansion. The Sienese after losing Siena, founded the Republic of Siena in Montalcino and here they found refuge from the Medici army till 1559, date that marks the final surrender. Montalcino took its name from the holm oak woods that surround the countryside and which offer the right microclimate -together with the winds that blow from the sea - where the bunches of San Giovese Grosso grapes can mature. The Monte Amiata tops the background of this land made up of wine, history and nature that lives off agriculture and tourism.
