About Montalcino
Montalcino developed as a fortified hill town in Tuscany, first recorded around the ninth century, and later came under Sienese control. It became an independent republic in the sixteenth century when Sienese exiles resisted Florentine conquest, briefly serving as the last free capital of the Republic of Siena. The town was long noted for its defensible position and wine.
