Itinerary
Begin the tour by meeting with your private driver and depart towards the southern part of Tuscany.
Start touring the magic jewel of Val D'Orcia, Castelmuzio!
Then you will reach Montisi, where a sommelier will introduce you the secrets of truffles and all the properties of this wonderful food!
After that you will head to Montalcino. Home of the world-famous Brunello wine, Montalcino is an intriguing medieval hilltop town. Brunello wine is said to be "the king of reds and the red of kings". Brunello was developed a little more than a century ago. Brunello is produced exclusively within the Montalcino territory, and only from Sangiovese Grosso grapes, a Sangiovese clone perfectly suited to local conditions. Before release, Brunello must be aged for four years, at least two of which must be in wooden casks.
At the end of the tour, sit back, relax and enjoy your drive back to your accommodation in Romee.
In Montisio village, situated in the middle of the region of excellent red wine, is the Restaurant that Gianluca manage, since 2011 with la mamma in the kitchen. Three generations - mum, son with wife and granddaughter - are currently working here to make everything run smoothly.
With Gianluca's unmatched passion for food, he will guide you through the daily options of the menu in such an histrionic way you just feel pampered and ready to eat everything.
And while waiting for mum’s pasta, take the unique chance to let Gianluca guide you through the best ‘bollicine, all gathered in one single place; on the top of a strikingly beautiful Tuscan hill that yes, could be the navel of the world.
Duration: 120 minutes
You will head to Montalcino. Home of the world-famous Brunello wine, Montalcino is an intriguing medieval hilltop town. Brunello wine is said to be "the king of reds and the red of kings". Brunello was developed by Ferruccio Biondi Santi a little more than a century ago, and almost immediately drew the attention of connoisseurs for its excellence. Brunello is produced exclusively within the Montalcino territory, and only from Sangiovese Grosso grapes, a Sangiovese clone perfectly suited to local conditions. Before release, Brunello must be aged for four years, at least two of which must be in wooden casks.
