montalcino hotel accommodation

For a small city, Montalcino has a large share of history. Her citizens were proudly anti-fascist in the 1920s, and they stubbornly resisted the Germans during World War II. But her proudest moments occurred during the frequent clashes of the Renaissance's great city-states. The region's farmers had made wine for centuries. Their red, called vermiglio, played a small role in the siege of 1553, when the garrison commander, pale with tension and hunger, rubbed it into his cheeks, thus simulating a healthy complexion to reassure his troops. In the 1600s, the English kings Charles II and William III favored a wine they called "Mont Alchin." Moscadelletto, a sweet white dessert wine, was praised by the poet Francesco Redi - and re-created, in our own time, as a moscadello Banfi calls "FloruS."
