Tuscany Wines

Embark on an immersive journey into the heart of Tuscan winemaking, where tradition and craftsmanship come together for an unforgettable experience. Guided by a wine expert, you'll explore the entire winemaking process, from grape selection to bottling, while learning about vinification techniques and the fundamentals of wine pairing.

Your experience begins with a walk through the vineyard, where you'll gain insight into grape cultivation and harvesting. From there, step into the cellar, where you'll witness the transformation of grapes into wine. Enjoy a progressive tasting, sampling wines at different stages of aging, from those maturing in barrique barrels to perfectly finished vintages. During the tasting, you will sample Prosecco DOC, Pinot Grigio DOC, and Rose IGT. Additionally, you'll have the unique opportunity to taste wines directly from the wooden barrels, including Sangiovese, the native grape variety that will become Monteregio di Massa Marittima, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, which will develop into the Super Tuscan Docet IGT, and Syrah, which will become the Super Tuscan Sustinet IGT. All these wines, along with their final bottled versions, will be part of your tasting experience. The last three wines will be expertly paired with cold cuts, salami, and pasta, followed by a delightful sweet ending with cantucci biscuits and vin santo dessert wine.

To further enhance your tasting, savor a locally inspired lunch featuring a platter of Tuscan cured meats and cheeses, a handcrafted pasta dish from the menu, and traditional cantucci biscuits with vin santo dessert wine.

This experience offers a perfect blend of education, tradition, and flavor, making it a must for wine lovers and food enthusiasts alike.
