Full description
Get to know the prince of Tuscan wines! We are talking about Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, one of the most famous Italian wines in the world.
Discover the secrets of its production with a visit to the Casanuova delle Cerbaie winery, established in the 1980s in Montalcino. Admire the panorama over the Val d'Orcia from the historic vineyard adjacent to the estate and continue your visit in the winemaking cellar and the scenic barrel cellar.
Anexclusive experience of about 1 hour and 15 minutes, ending with a tasting of 3 or 4 wines (to be chosen at the time of booking), the highest expression of Sangiovese and this territory.
What we will do
The appointment is at the selected time at Casanuova delle Cerbaie in Montalcino (SI).
On your arrival, you will be welcomed by the winery staff in front of the estate and the historic vineyard, from which you will be able to admire an enchanting view of Montalcino and the surrounding valley. In addition to taking some postcard photos, you will discover the characteristics of the land and soil that make the estate's wines unique.
The visit will then continue in the wine-making cellar, to better illustrate the production philosophy and the main processing operations of the Sangiovese grapes. Lastly, you will arrive in the barrel cellar, the place of ageing with the traditional large Slavonian oak casks, and a collection of historic vintages. This first part of the activity will last about 30 minutes.
At the end of the visit, you will move to the tasting room with a fireplace and a view of the vineyards. Here you will taste 3 or 4 glasses (to be chosen when booking) of the wines produced by Casanuova delle Cerbaie:
- Rosato Toscana IGT
- Rosso di Montalcino DOC
- Brunello di Montalcino DOCG
- Rosso Toscana IG T (only in the tasting of 4 glasses)
The tasting will be accompanied by breadsticks, taralli and home-produced EVO oil . If you have never tasted Brunello di Montalcino before, get ready to discover a fine and elegant wine: an artisanal product of the highest quality that testifies to the passion and dedication of the winery.
The experience will last a total of 1 hour and 15 minutes.
