Additional Information

The S.v Francesco farm was established in 2004 in Tramonti, the verdant core of the Amalfi Coast, to revive a time-honored wine-growing tradition. This farm spans around eight and a half hectares and produces wines using grapes from three historic local families: the Bove, the D’Avino, and the Giordano. By the early 2005, the winery was equipped with state-of-the-art technology. It is located in the old estate of the Di Palma family, the current proprietors, who sought the expert guidance of Dr. Carmine Valentino from Avellino. The estate is nestled within a historic Masseria dating back to the 1700s, in the lush Park of Lattari Mountains.

The wine tasting experience commences with a tour of the ancient pre-phylloxera vineyards (300-500 years old), and the 17th-century wine cellar. This is followed by the TASTING of three DOC wines - Amalfi Coast - Tramonti, paired with ‘panzanella’, complemented by fresh mozzarella and ricotta, seasoned cheeses, and cured meats.

A must during your visit to Italy - The vineyards were amazing and we learned so much about the wine. We appreciated the knowledge as we wanted to learn the story and the history and both were covered. We enjoyed everything included our drive up with our driver recommended by this vineyard as he was also very knowable. The wine and food was also delicious. Anyone that visits southern Italy should plan a visit here I highly recommend.

Tenuta San Francesco is Wonderful! - We have had the good fortune of finding this wonderful vineyard several years ago. Recently we had the chance to return again. The incredible friendliness of the family who live and work there makes this visit a wonderful experience. The incredible wine is a bonus . And yes, we did ship another case home!

Great way to spend an afternoon - The wine, the food, the people!! We spent several hours and had a four course meal along with four glasses of wine. These are not 'tastes' like you get in the USA, this was a glass of wine. Thankfully, we had a driver. All delicious, ended up buying 12 bottles to be shipped home. Price and shipping reasonable.

Amazing wine tour and tasting - My fiance and I were at Tenuta San Francesco last week and had such a fantastic experience. We had a tour of the vineyard and cellar, a private tasting and lunch prepared by one of the family owners. The wine was delicious, but not as delicious as the home cooked meal! Only about 30 mins from Rovello or Amalfi, this is a great side trip for those staying on the Amalfi coast.
