Montalcino and the Brunello
The King of Tuscan wines
Everything seems like a dream in the Brunello kingdom-the castle and village of Montalcino at the top the highest hill, the roads through the Sangiovese grosso vineyards, the taste from the huge barrels resting in the deep cellars.
Florence, Montalcino, Siena, Tuscany, Wine tours, 2 - 6 people
You step into the shade of a quiet vineyard. The air is warm, the silence only broken by the soft rustle of leaves and the sound of wine being poured in the distance.
