Abbey of Sant'Antimo in Montalcino
Montalcino is known for the Brunello , probably the most famous and expensive red wine in Italy . Visit the majestic Rocca , a fortress dating back to the 14th century with a cellar that offers wines from the region. In addition, this charming villa brings together two factors that frequently come together in the area and are part of its structural characteristics: be erected on a hill and have a medieval framework.
In favor of the first factor, we can say that the Asso, Ombrone and Arbia valleys converge on the hill on which they sit, which is synonymous with a horizon drawn by some places as varied as spectacular. From the second, that its historic center is not far behind; especially because the Piazza del Popolo , the Town Hall building, the former Palace of the Priors, and the Romanesque church of Sant'Egidio don't let you do it.
It is also admirable amiata volcano . Today he seems asleep, but in other times he intimidated the population from his virgilian bucolism . The Almiata is a symbol for the inhabitants. But, like almost everything in this valley, one never knows if, in fact, it is a sweet trick of Morpheus.
