Montecarlo

Overview

The history of the village of Montecarlo began with its foundation in 1333, and its name is linked to Charles IV of Luxembourg: in fact, the new town was dedicated to him, as a sign of thanks for having freed Lucca from the Pisans. The centre has been able to maintain, over time, the medieval beauty and elegance of its origins: the graceful houses, the orderly streets, everything enchants the visitor, but above all its square, a broad belvedere overlooking the wildest, most mountainous Tuscany. All that remains of the ancient conformation are the two gates to the town and the remains of the 14th-century castle, surrounded by imposing walls. But to get to know the village, it is also necessary to taste its wine, which has a special history: the white wine of Montecarlo in fact originates from wine-making processes in which some vine-dressers, in the mid-19th century, introduced French technologies, creating a product with a unique taste, which gave fame to the entire area.
