Montalcino town from the ramparts of the castle, Tuscany


Hilltown of Montalcino. During medieval times the city was known for its tanneries and for the shoes and other leather goods that were made from the high quality leathers that were produced there. As time went by many medieval hill towns including Montalcino went in to serious economic decline. In the case of Montalcino gradual economic decline has recently been reversed by economic growth due to the increasing popularity of the town's famous wine Brunello di Montalcino.
