Montalcino Wine Tasting

Welcome to Castello Tricerchi! At the time of your choice, we will head to this medieval mansion located 10 km from the center of Montalcino. Accompanied by a guide, we'll walk through the surrounding vineyards and then enter the building for a tasting of the best Tuscan wines.

Inside, we will learn the origins of this 15th-century building, which belonged to a powerful family in Siena. We will visit the barrel room to uncover the secrets of the wine production.

We will discuss the methods and techniques of Montalcino wine production and learn to distinguish grape varieties, including Sangiovese, a notable grape in this area of Italy.

Next, we’ll proceed to the tasting room to enjoy a sample of 3 different wines, including the famous Brunello di Montalcino. Following the sommelier’s instructions, we will explore the nuances of each glass, paired with ciaccino, a typical focaccia from Siena.

After a 1.5-hour visit, we will conclude the activity by saying goodbye outside the winery.
