Montalcino, Information and images

  • Probably founded by the Etruscans, the village was founded on a hill on the old Frankenstrasse near the rivers Ombrone and Asso.. The rule over Montalcino changed between Florence and Siena.. The Fortezza (fortress) on the mountain was built by the Sienese.. <9> <9> <994/1418212> <994/1436598> <9> <9> Viticulture is favored by location, soil and climate.. So the <1001> Brunello di Montalcino} is one of the most expensive wines in the world.. <9> <982> <9> The village has only about 5000 inhabitants, but thanks to its wine a reputation as Donnerhall (at least among the wine lovers) The Sangiovese grape, from which the Brunello is pressed, thrives magnificently on the slopes of Monte Amiata, where the village is located.. <9> No Brunello may be sold before 6 years, the Riserva only after 7 years, of which it must have been aged for at least 2 years in oak barrels.. <9> <9> A much cheaper, but also very good wine is the Rosso di Montalcino, which is obtained from lower quality vintages of the Sangiovese grape.. <9> <982> <9> Also worth seeing: <9> One of the most important monasteries in Italy is the Abbey of Sant´Antimo <9> <982>, located in Castelnuovo dell´Abate
