We did our tasting outside looking over the vineyards and country side. They offer 6 wines and you can choose to taste 4 or all 6. We chose 6 and they were all good. The woman working brought 1-2 wines at a time over to our table at a time, told us about the wines, and then left us to enjoy it. Our group's favorite was the Merlot. They also offered bread with their own olive oil, and some delicious crostini. Once we were done with our tasting, we were also offered a tour of their cellar where we learned about their winemaking process. I'd highly recommend a visit if you are in the area- it was about a 20 minute taxi from Lucca

As you approach the vineyard, you drive through a not-so-picturesque part of town, but don't let that stop you.

The wine itself is delicious, and we all highly recommend tasting the dessert wine as well. Ultimately, we picked some of our favorite wine and shipped it to the US! Would definitely return!

We called in the morning and we were invited for a tasting and small plates at 11:30. We were greeted at the gate by the beautiful Catherine and the elegant Moreno.

We began with an extraordinary champagne, followed by a chardonnay, a sangiovese , a merlot and a cabernet sauvignon. Each course was accompanied by lovely food pairings with vegetables from the garden and their house olive oil. We spent 3 hours eating and drinking in a perfect hilltop setting. An afternoon to remember.

Best culinary experience of my life!…read more I don't take this review lightly and I mean every word of this title. I first met Paulo in Oct 2021. My wife and I were looking for an 'authentic' wine tasting experience near Florence (something close enough for my wife and I to ride a moped through Florence). Paulo didn't have the most reviews online but every review I saw was 5 stars. This piqued my interest..."there's something here". We find ourselves walking in the front door of an old mom and pop shop bodega/general store. Paulo greets us warmly and we walk down some stairs to his basement. We're greeted by a pre set up tasting table that just looks fantastic. Paulo goes on to teach us about the components of the tongue and how the various fruit, nut, cheese, combinations hit the senses that just so happen to pair perfectly with his Rose wine--and that was just the beginning. To this day we continue to recommend him without reservation to all of our friends (with 10+ friends being able to experience his tasting, and each agreeing this was one of their best memories in Italy). We also continue to order his wine and olive oil direct to the US and his wine currently occupies the top shelf on our wine rack. Paulo, you're awesome!!

The tasting ( in my experience) was much more than wine tasting but a combination of cheeses, jams, mortadella, prosciutto, and of course wines which he makes. The first course included a rosé style wine and a few different cheese all of which were different ages, topped with different jams including a truffle blackberry jam and cashews which were absolutely incredible! I will not spoil the rest of the experience but if you're looking to go wine tasting in true Tuscany with generations of experience look no further. I can't wait to go back
