Thursday Itinerary - Montalcino
(light lunch at a winery included)

Itinerary-details of the tour:

Montalcino, the medieval town south of Siena, home to Brunello (San Giovese Grosso grape) vineyards producing the famous wine, one of the most know and appreciated in the world.

 Brunello born one century ago, as a result of a costant research and experiment.

The regulation for the Brunello is very severe about the production area (only the territory of Montalcino), the grapes (san giovese, named Brunello in Montalcino), alcoholic gradation (minimum 12%), the form of bottles (only in Bordeaux type bottles), the age (5 years after the harvest year and 6 years for the Riserva), the bottling (must take place in the production area).

  During our drive to Montalcino, we’ll admire the particular landscape in the South of Siena, known as Crete (Clay), desolate and arid hills devoid of vegetation and streaked with deep flows created by the surface water draining down from the peaks.

 Before reaching Montalcino, we’ll stop at a real and authentic Vineyard, where you’ll see the cellars with its oak Barrels aging the Brunello, you’ll taste a Rosso di Montalcino or an IGT red wine,  a Brunello di Montalcino and we’ll taste the wine together with the wine maker.

 We’ll have  lunch  in another  beautiful  vineyard together with the owner,  we’ll walk through his  vineyard and olive grove and you’ll learn everything about the Brunello grapes.: San Giovese Grosso ,called Brunello by the locals for its little brown skins.

 To finish the day, if we have time, we’ll make a stop in Montalcino  to admire this little medieval town and stroll around its fascinating streets and squares.
