Two original wineries near San Miniato
Wine & Food ToursUNBELIEVABLE YET UNDISCOVERED!
The hills surrounding Florence are a very charming wine district producing fabulous Chianti but also many IGT wines, with original peculiarities, sometimes produced with vines that are rare for Italy. Arianna and Friends brings you to two wineries off the beaten track in the area of San Miniato for you to discover very original and unexpected wines.
A Special family-run winery near San Miniato
Creating wine is always a formidable endeavor, particularly when venturing to introduce a product that breaks new ground. Such is the story of this unique family-owned winery in San Miniato, where brothers Federico and Fabio craft wines of remarkable distinction.
You’re invited to stroll through the vineyards alongside them, delving into their insights and winemaking philosophy. Here, amidst the serene countryside of San Miniato, with its panoramic views of the valley, you’ll gain firsthand knowledge of their craft. From their quaint winery emerges an array of exceptional single-varietal wines—100% Sangiovese, 100% Ciliegiolo, 100% Colorino, and even 100% Trebbiano. Additionally, they produce innovative sparkling wines, alongside youthful reds and whites, not to mention an exquisite dessert wine that crowns their offerings.
After the visit we will sit at the table in the tasting room and we will be served with a delicious lunch paired with a guided tasting of the wines made by the farm.
The most original wines of Tuscany
The last part of this day-tour is dedicated to a small family-run winery, famous for very original wines. The property is in a very welcoming hilly setting just along the medieval pilgrim road Via Francigena, a renowned pathway connecting Canterbury to Rome and passing right by San Miniato. At the property you will meet the friendly owners who will introduce to you the farm and welcome you in their house for a wine tasting full of interesting surprises, served with some focaccia, ham and cheese. Here you can taste some very original IGT wines along with a fantastic Chianti and an unforgettable Vinsanto.
Our wine tour to the hills around Florence allows you to taste at least 10 different wines.
