An Insider's Take
'Where legendary Brunello meets medieval grandeur in the heart of Montalcino's UNESCO World Heritage vineyards.' What's Special? This 800-year-old castle sits atop the prestigious Banfi estate, home to Italy's largest contiguous Brunello di Montalcino vineyard. The property spans 7,100 acres and features an award-winning winery that produces some of Tuscany's most celebrated wines. The medieval tower offers panoramic views of the Val d'Orcia, a UNESCO World Heritage landscape that inspired Renaissance paintings.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book the private cellar tasting in the 13th-century underground caves where Banfi ages their reserve Brunello - some bottles are worth over $500 and aren't available anywhere else.
Don't Miss The exclusive "Poggio alle Mura" vineyard tour at sunset, where you'll taste wines directly from barrels in the same cellars where monks once stored grain. The nearby medieval village of Montalcino is just 10 minutes away, home to the famous Fortezza fortress and traditional Brunello tastings that date back to the 14th century.
