The Passo del Lume Spento winds its way up to the municipality of Montalcino, world-famous for its red wine. There are around ten kilometers and a good 500 meters of altitude to overcome. During the ascent there are beautiful views of Monte Amiata and the opposite side of the valley at the foot of the mountain.

Montalcino Fortress

Highlight • Castle

The historic center of Montalcino is dominated by the mighty Rocca, a fortress built in 1361 to mark the passage of the city under the dominion of Siena. The panorama that can be enjoyed from the ramparts of the fortress is truly spectacular; it goes from Monte Amiata, through the Crete up to Siena, and crosses the whole Val d'Orcia up to the Maremma hills.

Montalcino

Highlight • Settlement

Positioned on top of a hill, overlooking the Ombrone and Asso valleys, Montalcino is fortunate to be at the center of one of Tuscany's most important wine regions. The territory is indeed renowned for its Sangiovese vineyards, from which we obtain the famous Brunello di Montalcino and which also produce two other AOC wines, Rosso di Montalcino and Sant'Antimo.

Piazza Garibaldi and Church of San Niccolò, Castel del Piano

Highlight • Historical Site

In the heart of the province of Grosseto, Castel del Piano emerges at 637 meters above sea level, guarding treasures such as the church of San Niccolò and the fifteenth-century Palazzo Nerucci. Between the shadow of the Aldobrandeschi and the fervor of the Palio delle Contrade, the city unites past and present, fusing ancient legends with fervent traditions.
