Program

1st Day

A two-day trip through the vineyards, wineries and history of the 3 big red wines from Tuscany: Chianti, Nobile di Montepulciano, Brunello di Montalcino. The route begins in the heart of Chianti, in  Radda in Chianti  After lunch, visit to the “Casa del Chianti Classico” which is located in the heart of Tuscany, in the wonderful eighteenth-century convent of Santa Maria al Prato. The House offers, in its ancient rooms, perfectly restored, proposals dedicated to wine and the culture of the territory. Among other experiences, the “sensory path” present at the Casa Chianti Classico is undoubtedly a unique and fun element to get to know and appreciate the Chianti Classico, to learn to taste it and understand its several aspects.

Later a stop in Castellina in Chianti (where you should stop for lunch), the tour continues through the heart of the production area of Chianti Classico Gallo Nero, towards Monteriggioni.
