The wines are encased in upscale lit cases which displays it in a very high end way. We had an opportunity to try one of their 100 point Brunellos for free and I was not impressed. Most of their wines are over 90 point and extremely pricey and after tasting 3 additional wines, we left. We didn't bother to do the wine tour since we didn't enjoy the tasting. It was worth a visit because this was by far the most lavish tasting room we encountered in our 3 days in Tuscany.

I visited Italy via a group called AHI travel. They coordinated the visit with about 20 participants. The tour began with a viewing of the wine cellar, wine barrels, bottling room and ended in the tasting room, a nice lodge-like area. We were able to taste 3 wines, including their famous Brunello and my favorite, the Alte d'Altesi, and indulge in a beautiful spread of bruschetta, prosciutto, pecorina cheese and olive oil. Their olive oil was also made on the property and available for sale. I ended up purchasing a bottle of wine and small container of olive oil so I could continue to enjoy my experience when I returned to New York. Altesino's had great products and inviting hospitality. I would note, if you are visiting on your own the drive up the curvy hills could be intimidating!

We emailed to them and were told there were four types of wine tasting we could choose from. We…read morepicked the one with three types of wines at the price of 12.50 per person. When we arrived, our tour guide took us to their wine making room. She was very friendly and spoke fluent English. Unfortunately, it was a public holiday so there was nobody around the working area. Since the winery was quite small and there were only two of us, we finished the tour pretty quick. We then went on to our wine tasting areas. It was a spacious and cosy room but nothing fancy. We tried Rosso di Montalcino DOC, Brunello di Montalcino DOCG & Super Tuscan IGT. We ended up buying the Brunello and Brunello Gold for 25 and 50 Euro each. She was kind enough to waive the tour and tasting fee for us.

An organic, biodynamic microwinery... Piombaia. They still make their wine the old fashioned way.

From their signature Brunello to their Gatto Nero, it is all absolutely fantastic. Whatever you do, call ahead. It is not the kind of place with a manned store. This is a home, so reservations are a very good idea here.

Alessandra (co-owner) and her daughter Veronica led the truffle hunt, with our little hunter, Celly--who brought plenty of puppy energy and was much more interested in playing than working. Thankfully, if your group isn't particularly lucky during the hunt, they keep a reserve of fresh truffles on hand so you can still fully enjoy the truffle lunch experience. Nonna Roberta prepares the food herself, and honestly, if I were Italian, I'd want a Nonna just like her! The meals were amazing, and there was no shortage of truffles. One of the best meals I've had in Italy!!
