Travel with a small group—meeting point in a central square in Florence—and spend a day touring the Montespertoli region. Visit a well-known Sparkling house such as Fattoria La Leccia (based on availability) and then a typical red-wine smaller estate. Experience multiple tastings and learn how the popular bubbly drink is made as you stroll through sprawling vineyards. Plus, enjoy a tasty lunch at a family-run winery.
The Wine Growing Region
Montespertoli is a wine region about 200 meters above sea level characterized by reasonably regular hill slopes. It’s exposed in a context of significant variability. A general dynamism under the pedological profile also describes the terrain. Pliocene marls, clays, and hamlets of Alberese allow the extraction of a magnificent variety of wine, a profound expression of the territory.
What to expect
Begin your day of wine tasting in Montespertoli Valley with pickup directly at a local meeting point in Florence before stopping at your first winery of the day for a tour and tasting. Sample a unique sparkling wine and enjoy lunch while your guide shares insights about the area’s wine-making history and production. After lunch, continue with your driver and small group to another boutique Chianti winery for a tour and tasting, plus time to make purchases (optional; extra cost). You can imbibe worry-free with all-day transport between the wineries. Your wine-tasting excursion ends with a drop-off back at the meeting point.
