Description

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Florence, Florence, Tuscany

Pick-up and departure.

Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: Fattoria di Luiano, Via di Luiano 32, 50026 Mercatale di Val di Pesa, San Casciano in Val di Pesa Italy

Luiano has been producing wine and olive oil since the 9th century. The estate has belonged to famous families from Florence, including the Strozzi. In 1959 the Palombo family took the ownership of the business and abandoned the mixed agricultural system. Their focus on cultivating solely vines helped them achieve wine of the highest quality. Sangiovese grape represents the largest portion of grape variety planted on their territory. The long-lasting tradition of winemaking is attested by ancient cellars built during the Renaissance. Here you will tour the property, vineyard and wine cellars in which vinification takes place and wines are displayed. Afterwards, you will enjoy a Chianti-based wine tasting with a view.


Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: Savignola Paolina, Localita Petriolo 58, 50022, Greve in Chianti Italy

Savignola is a boutique winery, located in the heart of Chianti Classico since 1780, with a vineyard area of ​​5 hectares and an annual production of about 22,000 bottles. Savignola, whose name has Etruscan origins, was regarded as a Christian settlement and was built around the first half of the 17th century. Marked by an all-female history, it is considered one of the historic companies of the area thanks to the figure of Paolina, who was the first woman to bottle her Riserva in a Bordeaux style bottle. She brought innovation to the historical tradition of Chianti Classico. The ancient barrel cellar of the estate dates back to the 1500s where tradition and innovation come together in the production of their wine. The terroir is made up of deep clay and chalky soil and requires rigorous work to create the perfect conditions for obtaining rich, intense and long-lived wines.

Duration: 3 hours

Stop At: Famiglia Nunzi Conti - Tenuta Villa Barberino, Via di Villa Barberino, 50026 San Casciano in Val di pesa FI, Italy

The last winery of the day has a vibrant history. It is a family-run winery that first started its production in 2012, which can be perceived in the lively character specific to young wines. But the history of the estate dates back to the end of the 1800s, when the founder Gualtiero managed to buy the first vineyards in Mercatale Val di Pesa. Upon his death, one of his sons came with a new vision, planted new vineyards, bought new land and a fifteenth-century villa, which became the centerpiece of the property.

The estate is located in the area of Chianti Classico Fiorentino and comprises vineyards, olive groves and forests. The varieties of grapes are typical of the territory, such as Sangiovese, Colorino and Canaiolo but also international varieties such as Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine cellars used in the 1400s were renovated to meet the needs of modern winemaking. In addition, a barn dating back to the 18th century has been restructured to serve as a wine cellar.
