Book a tasting of our organic/biodynamic wines produced on the Lucca hills; we will take a tour of the vineyard near the cellar, a visit to the internal rooms and finally we will taste the wines, oil and honey under a pergola. I will sit at the table with the customer to explain the history of our family business, our philosophy on natural wines, the manufacturing processes and the organoleptic characteristics of our 4 wines accompanied by croutons and local cheeses, our extra virgin olive oil and our acacia, chestnut, millefiori and pollen honeys. Depending on the period in which they visit us, they can assist in some of the manufacturing processes (harvest, foot pressing, vinification, bottling, labeling all done manually). We will try to make our customers understand the love and passion we put into our work. Depending on the number of guests, the tour can last an hour or more generally more than two hours.
