I'll explain how we work organically and how we produce excellent grapes. After you'll discover 3 different cellars, The Vinsantaia, the place where the Vinsanto (dessert wine) is made, La Tinaia where the Chianti DOCG and SuperTuscan ferment and the last is the Barriccaia, a 200 years old cellar totally underground, where the wine age in french oak barrell.

What we propose is a journey in our daily life, among the rows of our vineyards, passing among the olive trees until we reach our terrace on the hills in the heart of Tuscany. We will taste the true flavors of the wine obtained through passion and dedication with natural techniques combined with local products km 0, we will admire the nature surrounding the medieval village of San Gimignano.

Guests arrive in Piazza San Giovanni, the magnificent Piazza del Battistero, where historic buildings (such as the Palazzo del Magnifico and the Archiepiscopal Curia) are erected and the back of the Cathedral, sparkling with white and black marble and the majestic staircase. At the entrance, the guests can admire the original drawing of the Baptistery of Siena, unfinished due to the plague and two drawings made by famous architects, Louis Khan and Le Corbusier whose originals are no longer in Italy. Once here, guests have to go down, reaching an unique and inaccessible place, where the water once flowed. The "bottini" are buildings of medieval origin that brought water to the city of Siena. You will see a medieval well, an Etruscan hut dating back over 2500 years and a sandstone sediment dating back over 1 million years ago when Siena was below sea level. There you can see historical fossils. You will see another "bottino" as well used also as jail by The Noble Pandolfo Petrucci. After you can enjoy the real and unique experience of the wine tasting in an unique atmosphere. Once the experience is over, guests can buy some bottles as a souvenir.

A nice 3 hours biking tour through tuscany rolling hills. Meeting point in Siena city centre, then we will reach the bike shop ready to straddle our "iron" horse. Along the ride we will have short stops to enjoy to the fullest Chianti landscape, dotted by secret castles, vineyards and olive groves. Then, at the end of the loop, a nice surprise will be waiting for us. Other things to note Three hours cycling on Tuscan rolling hills path should be pretty tough, therefore a daily biking is required if you opt for regular bike, unless you can choose an e-bike.
