Highlights
  • Cantina del Brunello di Montalcino - Surely you have tasted a good wine in your whole life but if I told you that I can offer you an excellent selection in a secret underground place what would you tell me?

My wine shop is one of the oldest in Siena and specializes in Brunello di Montalcino as well as presenting famous labels such as Masseto, Sassicaia, Ornellaia and other top wines.

Many bottles that are present inside are not found anywhere in the world except in the Cantina del Brunello as they are not intended for export, also because they are produced in limited numbers.

For our tasting I have chosen a selection of the great Tuscan and Italian wines from more than a thousand different labels, such as the best quality Chianti Classico, Supertuscan and Brunello di Montalcino, all accompanied by a selection of the best pecorino cheese with bread sticks, bringing you not only in the shop directly but inside an Etruscan tomb, dug into the tuff, which I discovered following some renovation work, where I also keep my collection.

An explosion of taste you won’t forget!

Great experience, highly recommend! - This was a great wine tasting experience! Federico, the owner, is the one who gives the wine tasting and he did an amazing job. We thought we knew a little about wine but he taught us so much we felt like amateurs, in a good way! We sampled five different wines and he even let us taste a bit from a 1969 vintage (it wasn't that good but he warned us that may be the case). The crypt was fascinating and just added to the experience, don't miss it!

Wine tasting in an Etruscan Cript! - Having a wine tasting in an Etruscan script was a totally unique experience! Frederico offered three different wines that were delicious. We also had him ship a case home! Nice experience that can be added to an afternoon.
