First Itinerary

FROM MONTALCINO

We leave this pleasant town, famous for the wine called "Brunello", and go south following the provincial road no.14 until Sant'Angelo in Colle, a small village which nestles around around a stout stone tower and all that remains of the medieval castle. A Romanesque church and the church of the Confraternitą contain two works of art to enjoy. Further along is Argiano, and the remains of walls and donjon of a castle dating back to the late Middle Ages. On arriving at S.Angelo-Cinigiano station; we find Poggio alle Mura on the right, dominated by a large castle, today called Villa Banfi, where it's possible to visit the il Museo del Vetro (a glass and wine museum). Going north the ancient church of Saint Sigismondo is quite near the medieval village of Camigliano. From this village you can return to Montalcino.
