Montalcino
Coming
from the Via Cassia, Montalcino is really impressive.
The fortress dominating the town, the hilly woods,
the vineyards and olive orchards, all this makes
a landscape that reminds you of pictures from the
Renaissance. However, the main claim to fame for
Montalcino is that it has become a symbol of what
agriculture of superior quality can mean in terms
of welfare and jobs. Montalcino and Brunello wine
seem to blend into one symbol, into one formula
and, at the same time, they become the symbol of
an unusual Italy, where work is silent, not showing
off, and follows harmoniously the course of the
seasons, step by step, naturally. |
