Montalcino, Medieval commune in Tuscany, Italy
The town of Montalcino rises 567 meters above sea level, surrounded by defensive walls and crowned by a pentagonal fortress from 1361.
First documented in 814 AD, Montalcino developed around a church built by monks from the Abbey of Sant'Antimo during the 9th century.
The Museo Riuniti contains an extensive collection of sculptures and paintings from the Sienese school, representing regional artistic heritage.
The municipality stretches across 310 square kilometers and includes several smaller towns such as Camigliano, Castelnuovo dell'Abate, and San Giovanni d'Asso.
Montalcino's Brunello wine, produced exclusively from Sangiovese grapes, requires five years of aging and was Italy's first to receive DOCG status.
