Castello di Ama, Siena

Ama is a very small village managed by the municipality of Gaiole. It is located in the “heart” of Chianti Classico, in the historic part, in the center of Tuscany, between the provinces of Florence and Siena.

The art, the landscape, and the wisdom of wine have always been present in these places. The Etruscan origin attests to the presence of a fortified town in the pre-Roman period.

Visiting Castello di Ama is not just a tour of the cellars, aged barrels, and vineyards, but also a historical journey inside the old castle and the other buildings that surround it. Castello di Ama is a symbol of how in Tuscany wine has been linked to its most special places for centuries until today.

Castello di Ama hosts contemporary art exhibitions by international artists, creating a route that combines the ancient and the modern, giving you the opportunity to admire and taste the wine of these lands.

Visits and tastings must be scheduled and experiences can be customized upon request.



Badia di Coltibuono, Gaiole in Chianti

Badia di Coltibuono still holds its original structure today. This charming structure of ancient atmosphere was home to a community of Benedictine monks. This former monastery has been transformed into a wine estate.

In Badia di Coltibuono, the art of winemaking has been cultivated and continued for six generations, with passion and love in the name of Chianti Classico.

Barone Ricasoli, Gaiole in Chianti

The history of the Ricasoli family has been linked to wine since 1141 and written records dating from that date attest that the Brolio Castle was already in the family's possession. After centuries dedicated to the defense of feudal lands and lordships, they were the first to dedicate themselves to the development of agriculture and vineyards, sensing the great potential of the Brolio area.

The building overlooks the surrounding hills and offers a splendid view of the estate's vineyards. The cellar is a mix of old and modern, the renovation has partly kept the historic charm of the structure, but has brought in state-of-the-art machinery in the field of winemaking.

Ricasoli offers several tasting tours, including visits to the castle and the beautiful surrounding gardens, historic buildings, and cellars where you can taste the wonderful Chianti Classico produced in this land.

The Barone Ricasoli estate is a wonderful encounter of great wines, history, and nature.



Antinori no Chianti Classico, Bargino

When visiting Antinori, the first thing that catches your eye is certainly its architectural structure, a modern building designed by famous contemporary architects, which harmoniously surrounds the cellar.

The Antinori family has been linked to winemaking for 26 generations, six centuries of history, and tradition can be seen throughout the cellar which was designed to welcome wine lovers and get in direct contact with its production philosophy, made of passion, patience, and continuous search for quality.

To visit the winery, you need to book one of the four different tasting tours on offer, from an introduction to winemaking and a tasting of the most famous Antinori wines to a bespoke experience designed for your tastes and preferences.
