Enoteca La Fortezza: Wine & snacks at the Fortress

When you visit Montalcino's fortress, you will see the tempting wine bar located in the castle grounds. After an energetic climb up to the castle's towers and a wander along the walls you will surely have earned yourself a refreshing glass of Brunello ; )

Take a seat at a table inside, or if the weather permits, grab a table on the terrace, located in the castle's courtyard.

The Enoteca La Fortezza stocks countless varieties of Brunello di Montalcino, plus other varieties of Italian wines. It is a fabulous place to enjoy a glass or two and perhaps snack on some pecorino cheese or salami as well.

You can also do wine tastings - order 3, 5 or 7 tastings and they will bring you just a little of each wine of your choice, or they will chose a selection for you. It is a great way to try a few different Brunellos without shelling out 10 euro per glass.

For the more adventurous, Enoteca La Fortezza also offer Olive Oil tasting - think I'll stick to the wine.
