  Chianti Classico Wine Tour

 

This day trip will be an exploration of the heart of the Chianti Classico, the defined area that begins just South of Florence and reaches all the way to the North of Siena. While visiting the wonders of the area and in tasting its wines, you will come to understand the concept of terroir, and you will learn how Chianti Classico is made, how to distinguish the characteristics of the main grape varieties, and much more...
We depart and head towards the Chianti Classico region. The first stop will be in a hilltop town of Medieval origins, such as Castellina in Chianti, to get the feel for a town that has been transformed by the importance of its wines, and to shop for local specialties and handicrafts.
There will probably be extra time for doing a tasting of fine Extra Virgin Olive Oils and Vinegars.
We will then head for our first local winery, whilst we have time in the
van to admire the wild but fantastic country side and to discuss the wine making of the area, its history and evolution. At the first winery you will see the cellars and receive a full explanation of the wines and other specialties that are produced. You will taste the wines of the winery which will typically include at least one Chianti Classico, a Riserva and an IGT Super Tuscan.
It is now time to sample tasty specialties of the area, so we will stop for lunch, possibly in a winery.
To help you
r digestion we will visit another winery, highly rated by influential wine publications. You will now begin to fully appreciate the range of aromas and flavors that Chianti Classico wines have to offer.
