The activity begins with a private guided tour of the castle and the historic cellar. Discover the link between the property, its vineyards, and the two signature varieties of local production: Sangiovese and Canaiolo.

Then move on to a guided sensory laboratory: with a estate expert compare 3 selected wines and learn to observe the color, recognize the aromas, and evaluate structure and tannins. No prior knowledge is required.
