Tuscany: Montalcino~ Part 8

After our wine-tasting at the Poggio Antico vineyard, we headed up to the charming hill-town of Montalcino.   This village is filled with a multitude of Brunello wine shops, art galleries, small eateries, and several gelato shops.

Pretty church

 
Just look at those rolling hills in the distance

 
I am in love with the details on some of the simplest buildings~ (the door)

 
And I love that this one is completely covered, yet still beautiful!

 
seat anyone?

 
Beautiful street view
