The next stop will be Pienza that is famous not only for its Pecorino cheese, but it has been the first renaissance town in Europe, a model of perfect illuminate architecture for Florence, Paris, etc.… Art lovers, however, will associate this small south Tuscan town with Enea Silvio Piccolomini, later Pope Pius II, who asked Bernardo Rossellino to transform his birthplace into an ideal city of the Renaissance. Enjoy here a typical lunch with tasting of pecorino cheese and local products. At last you will admire Montalcino that is like an “island” in the heart of Tuscany, on a hilltop 564 meters height above sea level, immersed in the green environment that is still intact and wild. Today, undoubtedly, the image of Montalcino is enriched by the “Brunello”, one of the most vintage wine of Italy, a DOCG wine that exists thanks to the soil and favorable climatic conditions of this Tuscan “island”.
