Azienda vinicola Casa al Vento
Guided tours and wine tasting

A new and elegant wine cellar is the heart of our wine company, while the vineyards which surround the estate are the main arteries in which the lifeblood of our production flows. In order to demonstrate the wine making process to tourists and Chianti enthusiasts, we organize daily wine tours and tasting sessions. The tour begins at the terrace in front of the cellar, where the distinctive characteristics of the different types of vineyards can be observed. Here, the most important aspects of the Chianti production are explained, starting with the characteristics of the Sangiovese grape, which is truly the soul of Chianti Classico. By opening the doors to the fermentation room, we also try to reveal the secrets of the cellarman, the worker responsible for checking the changes which take place in the must of the wine. In a suggestive barrique room we explain the importance of choosing a suitable wood for the wine's ageing process. During the tour we try to answer the many questions that the wine making process can conjure up for tourists until the tasting session. In the comfortable wine shop visitors are showed the products and have the opportunity to taste 3 different wines (red varieties obviously!): Toscana IGT Gaiolè, Chianti Classico Aria, Chianti Classico Riserva Foho.
