Wine tastings
We are situated in the heart of winemaking, amidst wine cellars of great repute. This is the homeland of Brunello which is exclusively produced from Sangiovese Grosso wines (100%).
A ruby colour, a typical scent and a dry, elegant and velvety taste lingering on the palate stand as its major, successful features. Here you will also find, amongst others, the Rosso di Montalcino and the Super-Tuscans. Fine wines are in abundance. Some 120 estates produce over 3.5 million bottles. Through the years we have become friends to some of the most interesting wine producers of the area who produce wine of excellent quality at a fair ratio quality and price. It is thanks to them that we are now able to introduce our guests to a world of fine wine tasting.
We will be more than glad to supply you with further details. |
