Description of the Brunello di Montalcino wine tour:
Brunello di Montalcino is a full bodied, structured, and complex red wine produced with 100% Sangiovese grapes. The wine is aged in oak barrels for five years before bottling.
One of the most famous wine regions of the world, the Montalcino area also produces Rosso di Montalcino. It’s considered the little brother of the Brunello, made from the same grapes, but aged for only one year. It’s a pleasant wine, lighter and less complex.
At the first winery we visit, you’ll meet one of the youngest organic Brunello producers, who will show you the process behind his wines, from the vineyard to the aging in oak barrels. It’s a fascinating story!
The second winery is a very famous one in Montalcino, where we’ll have a tasty homemade lunch, paired with at least four wines.
At the last winery, you’ll meet another young owner who will guide you inside his world of wine and other surprises.
Before returning to Florence, you’ll have the chance to stroll through the charming village of Montalcino, with its breathtaking views of the valley.
