Montalcino

The hills of the Val d’Orcia define the setting of Montalcino — vineyards, olive groves and wooded slopes shape both its compact hilltop form and the agricultural rhythm below its walls. This Tuscan town is inseparable from Brunello di Montalcino, the celebrated red wine made from Sangiovese grapes and produced under tightly defined local rules. The 14th-century Fortress of Montalcino recalls the town’s strategic importance in the rivalry between Siena and Florence. South of town, the Romanesque Abbey of Sant’Antimo adds another landmark to the surrounding countryside.
