History and passion with a breathtaking backdrop - To begin with I want to say that the place where the estate is located is nothing short of spectacular. A true panorama of Tuscany! As soon as we arrived we were greeted by the owner and made to sit in the garden in front of the estate. From then on we were in the hands of Giacomo, their Hospitality manager, who explained the History of the Marchesi Gondi and their wine. All very interesting and you can see that Giacomo has a lot of passion for what he does. After the small history lesson we visited the wine and oil cellars that have all the charm of Tuscan viticulture known all over the world. The smells of the cellars take you back to simpler times, where wine and oil were precious goods. After the tour we were made to sit in a tasting room where a nice platter of local cold cuts and cheeses awaited us and where we could taste five of their wines, one better than the other. After tasting we ordered wine that is shipped comfortably to our home, at very competitive prices, and we said goodbye. A huge thank you to Giacomo who was competent, funny and very patient with us brickies:) Beautiful day to redo gladly and highly recommended for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of the center of Florence to enjoy a bit of real Tuscany.

Experience to live - Visit to the historic estate and guided tasting really very interesting. Rich in anecdotes, exposed with sympathy and competence the "narrative" part. Professional and well thought out tour in the cellar, as well as the tasting route. Simply exceptional the vinsanto 2010.
