Montalcino, Italy
Why Walk Montalcino
Montalcino crowns a hill above the Val d'Orcia, a UNESCO-listed landscape of rolling hills, cypress-lined roads, and golden wheat fields. The town is defined by Brunello di Montalcino, one of Italy's greatest wines. A 14th-century fortress with intact walls surrounds the compact center of stone houses and medieval lanes.
