Brunello di Montalcino is considered the best wine produced in Tuscany. Small family runned farms like Le Chiuse still have the art of wine making according to the local tradition. We recommend a visit of a small or medium sized winery rather than a larger one because you will find the real essence of the Tuscan tradition and lifestyle, specially when you taste a wine knowing exactly how it has been made and what is inside it... specially Le Chiuse, which production is totaly ORGANIC and certified by the European Union.

To understand Tuscan wines, it is necessary to learn about the process of making wine in Tuscany and what are the rules that control this production.

Fattoria di Presciano has what is considered a historic cantina, built in the early 1900`s - and the owner is quite knowledgable about grapes and the wine making process, he is a little slow to warm up to but when you do it he is a bottomless pit of information, especially when you start discussing about the history of wine!

Badia a Passignano opens its historic cellars for a tour every afternoon... an unforgettable experience that will send you directly back in time, immersed in the atmosphere of a still alive style of life, dedicated to the cultivation of this blessed land, Chianti, just like once upon a time...

"Cantine Aperte" means Open Cellars, this is the most important wine Festival in the whole Italy, when many wineries open their cellars to visit and tasting attracting many tourists and wine enthusiasts from the whole world.

Located in a privileged area between Volterra and San Gimignano, Il Palagio’s lands extend over Etruscan and Roman old settlements, actually the wine dates back from that time. With modern methods but preserving many of the ancient procedures, Il Palagio is able to produce top quality wines.

Maremma, the most unspoiled lands between Grosseto and the Tirrenian coast, is a territory that best preseves old Tuscan country traditions.
