Montalcino was already famous for its red wines in 1400s: the young Rosso of
Montalcino D.O.C., the Moscatello D.O.C. and the Sant' Antimo D.O.C.. But among
the productions of the wines, in the last twenty-year period an honour place is
business to the famous Brunello: before it can be put up for sale it must age
for a minimum of five years (six years for Reserve quality), two of which must
take place in oak casks.
Of big value also the production of the Extravergine oil of olive and above all
of honey. The stock farm of the bees in fact recently come in as part of the economic
activities of the place, as much than the "week of the honey" of Montalcino has
become a moment of meeting and exchange noticing for the whole national and international
view. |
