From Livorno we drive just more than 1h and we can reach the heart of Chianti, the Chianti Classico where are many beautiful villages as Greve in Chianti, Panzano in Chianti, San Casciano... Black Rooster zone where is produced the famous red Chianti wine. Here there are hundreds of wine estates and farms.The owners are always glad to host visitors (reservation provided in advance by our staff), proud to show their cellar, explane how they make their wine and of course let it taste! They organize different kind pf wine tastings. Simple :3-4 wines with some bread an extra vergin olive oil ( Olive oil bruschetta) Complete ones : wines and tomato's bruschette, prosciutto, salamy, pecorino cheese.
and also Light Lunch: 3-4 wines+ ham, salami, cheese and a tiypical dishes that can be pasta or tuscan soups ( Ribollita , Pappa al pomodoro, Panzanella) Lo staff di PTT in fase di organizzazione del tour vi invierà 2-3 opzioni di itinerari con la visita di 2-3 aziende di diversa tipologia e la visita di paesi tipici della campagna Toscana.
In every estates are suggestable to take also the tour of the cellar in order to have a complete experience. Anyway sometime, when time is limited, you can skip the tour and have directlly the tasting. Each estate charges even for the simple tasting, which is good becouse if you pay the tasting you do not feel forced to buy. Often the shipping is expensive and expecially if you are cruisers, is hard to bring wines with you in the cruise.
You will receive our quotations from our staff with several options selected by us. Please choose the one that better suits your needs.
The itinerary will be of course decided together including visit of villages to the wine tastings.
