The experience begins with a guided tour of the castle, where you’ll uncover the fascinating history of the family and their influential role in both Italian political history and the development of modern winemaking in Chianti Classico. The tour continues into the vineyards, offering breathtaking views and insight into the unique terroir and vastness of the estate. Guests then visit the state-of-the-art winemaking facilities, followed by an exclusive private tasting of top-tier wines, curated to showcase the estate’s most distinguished expressions. The day concludes with a gourmet lunch at the estate’s own restaurant, where the chef presents a menu that blends traditional and contemporary Tuscan cuisine.
