The Tour combines the visit of an ancient Ironworks with an oengastronomy experience in a Tuscan Winery. The Ironworks still retains the loading tank on the back, the three water wheels, with the respective feeding ducts, the wind machine (a long metal column, into which the water was conveyed, which allowed the flame of the forges to be fed directly ) and the gigantic internal hammers, moved to hydraulic energy. It is a unique historical finds in central Italy. One, of its kind in Casentino, its origins seem to date back to the sixteenth century under the Grand Duchy of Tuscany.
