The
hills surrounding Florence
are a very charming wine district
producing fabulous Chianti
but also many IGT wines, with
original peculiarities, sometimes
produced with vines that are rare
for Italy. Arianna and Friends brings
you to one winery off the beaten
track in the Montalbano wine
district, for you to discover such
particular wines.
ALL
ABOUT OUR PRIVATE WINE TOUR
We
arrange a three-hour wine tour
for your party to one very
beautiful winery located about
30 minutes from Florence downtown.
It belongs to a historical estate
in a Medicean villa with a charming
underground cellar in the Montalbano
wine district.
Our
English speaking tour guide
meets you at an agreed meeting point
or directly at your property or hotel
(please, see transportation box
below for further details) and accompanies
you to a charming wine estate in the
Montalbano district, close
to Vinci - namely the town
of Leonardo, the world famous
Italian genius.
The visit starts with an introduction
to a spectacular 16th century Medicean
villa where the winery has its
premises. It is a charming historical
chalet that the Medici used as a hunting
mansion. The basement of the villa
hosts a fascinating historical
cellar which was wisely restored
and turned into a sort of museum of
old winemaking techniques and instruments.
At the end of the visit, the best
wines of the property are served
together with some snacks in
the tasting room of the property.
You can taste a Chianti and
a Chianti Riserva as well as
some excellent IGTs. With a
little surcharge a buffet lunch can
be added to this program.
Our
wine tour to the hills around Florence
takes around 3 hours and allows
you to taste at least 3 different
wines.
