Montalcino — Fortezza Belvedere sulla Val d'Orcia
Tuscany
Montalcino's 14th-century fortress, still ringed by its original walls, sits at the highest point of town with a panorama stretching over the Val d'Orcia's vine-covered slopes to the cone of Monte Amiata on the horizon. The rampart walk is short, level once inside, and quiet outside peak wine-tourism hours.
