Brunello wine tour, Tuscany,


 March, while waiting for the Spring arrive, the wine girls took another  wine trip to the Brunello region, to discover new wineries. We left Florence in the morning, driving towards Siena and an hour and a half later we arrived in Montalcino,  we headed straight into the first cellar, with a gorgeous view over the Brunello vineyards and we started  enjoying  a special traditional brunello wine,  powerful and potentially of great longevity good to match with strong flavour food; we loved this winery  for sure we will come back with our customers, then we visited  another renowed winery, the route was simply spectacular, no words ... do not believe us? take a look at the pictures! After an excellent lunch, we went to explore two other wineries waiting for us,  fabulous as well the two in the morning
what about ... we can not wait to introduce you to our gorgeous wineries as soon as possible.
Remember to include a brunello tour while you are in Florence or in Siena!

Tuscan Villas and Chianti tours


In the winter  Francesca, Olivia and I, usually do our homework  that consists of  strolling  through the Tuscany countryside to try new places, wineries and restaurants  to include in our special list
  
Today we went to a gorgeous Villa, a few steps from Florence,  which belonged to the Medici family, and formerly it was an 11th century royal hunting lodge; in the 17th Francesco Maria dè i Medici purchased the property and then  transformed  into a farm in  1836 by the actual owner


The villa is very beautiful, and from the terrace you can see  even the  Brunelleschi's Dome , the hill top town of Fiesole,  the countryside , the cypress  trees,  the vineyards,  the olives trees.

The villa owns 70 hectares of vineyards and 8000 olive trees .... are you curious to know more ...? 




See you soon
