The town is located to the west of Pienza, close to the Crete Senesi in Val d'Orcia. It is 42 kilometres from Siena, 110 kilometres from Florence and 150 kilometres from Pisa. Monte Amiata is located nearby.
The hill upon which Montalcino sits has probably been settled since Etruscan times. Its first mention in historical documents in 814 AD suggests there was a church here in the 9th century, most likely built by monks associated with the nearby Abbey of Sant'Antimo. The population grew suddenly in the middle of the tenth century, when people fleeing the nearby town of Roselle took up residence in the town.
