Montalcino - a very nice little town, most famous for the best wine in Italy known as Brunello. Went on a tour visiting 2 wineries - the second was made special by the old couple the owns and runs the winery. He also maintains a museum of winemaking tools. Neither he nor his wife spoke English, but they were all excited by the attention and clearly proud of their wine. As he was pouring the wine, she would distribute snacks of cheese and prosciuto. He was so thrilled that I ordered a case to be shipped that he handed me a free bottle and signed both the bottle and the box.
