BRUNELLO
Are you ready to go and discover one of the most prized and renowned wines in world? After we pick you up, we will visit many enchanting places as we climb up the marvellous hills of the Val d' Orcia that dominate the splendid valleys below, rendered even more beautiful with their orderly vineyards and olive groves. We will visit the charming Medieval town of Montalcino and the land surrounding it, celebrated for its vineyards of Sangiovese which are used to produce the well-known Brunello di Montalcino, and are also utilized to make the Rosso di Montalcino. The main difference between the two is the length of the aging process, which for the Brunello is a minimum of five years.
During our tour we will visit one or two of the best producers of the Brunello wine and of course do a wine tasting to reveal the secrets that make this wine so unique. If you wish we can make a reservation for you in a local trattoria for a traditional Tuscan lunch, or you can have an hour of time on your own to wander around this amazing town. On the return trip, you can choose to visit either the Abbey of S. Antimo or the marvellous town of Sant'Angelo. We will suggest to you some itineraries and places to visit but it will be up to you to decide what you prefer. It is our belief that a wine tour should be above all relaxing, just as enjoying a glass of good wine is, without a hectic schedule and open to last minute changes that will satisfy your desires.
