Wine and Specialties in Tuscany with Small Artisan Producer

About this tour

Spend two hours at a small Tuscan winery learning how four distinctive wines are made, then taste them alongside artisanal cured meats and local cheeses from Poggio Stenti. The cellar walk-through covers production methods before you settle in to evaluate a rosato and white from Maremma, followed by two red selections from Montecucco. Each wine pairs naturally with the charcuterie board, revealing how local producers match their output to the region's food traditions.

Highlights

• Four wines including organic rosato, vermentino, and two Sangiovese expressions
• Technical tasting notes explained by producer staff
• Curated selection of Tuscan cured meats and regional cheeses
• Walk through small-batch cellar operations

What to expect

Arrive at the estate and receive a brief introduction to the vineyard's approach and philosophy. You'll move through the working cellar where staff explain fermentation, ageing, and bottling decisions specific to each wine. The tasting then unfolds systematically: you'll evaluate the two whites first, then progress to the reds, tasting directly from glasses whilst the charcuterie board sits nearby. Producers often discuss soil, vintage variation, and why certain pairings work. Expect roughly 90 minutes of tasting and conversation; the pace is unhurried.
