Montalcino is still a quiet little city, but that's mostly because the wine speaks for itself. Montalcino, ringed by her medieval walls, rides like a ship on her hilltop overlooking Brunello country. The proud fortress-castle at her southern end, like a prow parting the waves, gives her a commanding profile: many a visitor, thinking to drive nonstop to Rome or Siena, finds himself summoned, or irresistibly lured - to her summit instead.
