Free Guide of Tuscany - Montalcino
Anyone who loves good food and good wine has heard of Montalcino. The popular wine produced in the Sienese hillside vineyards overlooking the Ombrone and Asso valleys is known as Brunello di Montalcino.
The town, originally an Etruscan and Roman village, now features a splendid medieval layout. Encircled by a stone wall and dominated by a 14th-century fortress in the shape of a pentagon, the old town centre contains the Palazzo dei Priori, now the Town Hall, a fine loggia with two Gothic stone archways and a notable civic and diocesan museum containing extraordinary works of Sienese art.
