Montalcino

Montalcino (Montalcino)-a fortress that has guarded freedom in Italy from the beginning to the present. It stands high on a rugged mountain ridge. It is easy to recognize Montalcino from its sharp towers. Its unusual geographical location is condescending, strangling the throat of Via Cassia, the avenue of commerce since ancient times. It brought prosperity to it, and at the same time was involved in a lot of wars.

Travel Memoirs. Tuscany. Orange Memory. Travelers who have been to Tuscany have their own pictures and colors in their memories. Montalcino (Montalcino) is said to have been founded by refugees from the town of Roselle in the early decades of the 10th century BC, and has retained its urban structure almost since the most glorious period of expansion in the Middle Ages . Montalcino (Montalcino) is an important wine-producing area in Tuscany, and is the first choice for wine-loving travelers to Tuscany. From a climatic and geographic point of view, the entire production area has natural barriers. On the left is the Ombrone River, on the south is the Orcia River, and on the south is the Amiata Mountain. These barriers protect the entire production area, so the local annual rainfall is only 500 mm, and the coolness of the sea breeze from the Tyrrhenian Sea eases the hot Mediterranean climate. The entire production area is located at an altitude of about 600 meters. The high altitude creates a temperature difference between day and night, which allows the grapes to receive light during the day while enjoying a cool night at night, retaining the acidity of the wine and prolonging the entire growth cycle, which is the grape itself It helps a lot to develop flavor. The best local vineyards are built on sunny hillsides, where the soil is barren, the sun is abundant, and there is no danger of frost. Nostalgia for the scene of Montalcino bathing in the sunset, orange has become my color memory of Tuscany, and "bathed in a glow at sunset" has become one of the themes of the trip.

Tuscany's important wine-producing area, American filming location, antique and picturesque scenery to accompany wine is definitely the first choice for wine tourists.
