Italy Horseback Riding

One of the first records of "Brunello" was a red wine that was made in the Montalcino area in the early 14th century. The Brunello di Montalcino was awarded the first Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG) designation and today is one of Italy's best known red wines of Tuscany.

The very best wine bar in Montalcino is in the Enoteca Fortezza. It is a Fortress overlooking the charming Medieval hill town of Montalcino. You need to go into the fortress keep, then to the main stone tower and in this characteristic 13th century cantina Mario will be ready to present your wine tasting. The inviting tables are waiting for you to slowly savor the Brunello & Rosso di Montalcino. You can climb a tower and wander around the fortress battlements. What a spectacular view of the rolling hills and vineyards in Tuscany.
