We offer an experience, not just a tasting. First of all we are biodynamic wine producers. We therefore produce very special artisanal wines. We want to offer those who visit us the opportunity to understand the world of natural wine and for this reason we want to ensure that in the company the visitor comes into direct contact with those who produce. In the tasting we explain many interesting aspects about winemaking, agriculture, the world of wine. In fact, those who present wine to the visitor are always either one of us 2 brothers (partners and producers) or a person who works directly in the company in order to give a truly important experience to those who come to visit us. It is also a "slow-drink" tasting, that is to say, a tasting in which the person will calmly enjoy a beautiful panorama of pure Tuscany in front of our vineyards on our panoramic terrace without haste.
