Perfectly preserved, fully fortified medieval hilltown with a fairytale castle Montalcino is the home of world-famous Brunello red wine. Immersing in the picturesque Val d’Orcia, this unique village gives its visitors the opportunity to enjoy some of the top-quality wines on the market observing the breathtaking beauty of this marvelous area.
Montalcino hasn’t practically changed its look since the 16th century. In the 1400’s the town became rich for its fine red wines, but the priceless recipe of Brunello was invented by its author Ferruccio Biondi Santi only at the end of the 19th century.
Made purely of Sangiovese grapes, the Brunello di Montalcino has become a “younger brother” of the Moscadello di Montalcino, sweet white wine produced in this region. Having been awarded at the Agrarian Exhibition of Montepulciano in 1869 Brunello for the first time was officially recognized as high-quality wine. Very soon it had become the favorite Tuscan red of many wine lovers.
Before this wine can be legally labelled Brunello it must age for at least 2 years in oak barrel and 4 months in bottle, but most producers still follow the traditional aging period of 5 years before releasing it to the market since to fully appreciate this wine it should age even longer, as it is only after at least 10 or 15 years that its unique qualities reveal to the maximum. During your private or small group Montalcino wine tour you will sample different vintages of this King of the Wines to understand and enjoy how the quality features of Brunello increase with time. The long aging period required for Brunello is one of the key elements that makes it so different from those other wines not suitable for aging because of their composition.
We take pride in offering you Montalcino wine tours with a private driver or as a part of a small group. In both cases you are going to visit 2-3 renowned wineries for the wine tasting, have a light lunch and enjoy the history and medieval beauty of the village as well as stunning landscapes of the surrounding territories where on the rolling hills vineyards alternate with wheat fields that play with the wind like green waves of an ocean. Climbing up the impressive Rocca of Montalcino built in the 14th century gives the opportunity to appreciate this area 360 degrees. On your day trip we also stop in Montepulciano for the Nobile di Montepulciano wine tasting. For those interested in Montalcino private wine tours there are no limitations and we can also suggest visiting of such sights among which the first option should be Pienza, the ideal Renaissance city commissioned by Pope Pius II to Bernardo Rossellino who was given carte blanche to express here the most advanced criterias of architecture of that magical period.
