Mountain
bike ride to the castle of Poggio alle Mura : after a short loop inside the medieval hilltown of Montalcino
(famous for its "Brunello" wine) we'll be riding a scenic ridge
through the woods before entering the sea of vineyards where the Brunello wine
is produced. Biking across the vineyards we'll eventually reach the ancient
castle of Poggio alle Mura, now famous with the name of Banfi castle, which was
erected, in its current form, in 1438 on a hill near the confluence of the
rivers Orcia and Ombrone. |
