Full days wine tasting tours: Top Brunello Wine Tour
Best Seller Wine Tour
This full day wine tour is perfect for wine lovers and wine collectors
Brunello di Montalcino is a top wine you want to open a bottle today and then you want to store a few bottles for many years!
It is a Tuscan wine region where wine lovers can visit beautiful wineries, and taste award winning Brunello produced by boutique wineries located around the medieval town of Montalcino.
The area is not too big, wineries are concentrated and close to each other but the locations Northeast or Southwest will make a huge difference in the final product.
So make sure you’ll have wine tasting at wineries located on each sides of the hilltop to get a better understanding of the winemaking process and final taste.
Top Brunello Wine Tour is an educational wine tour with an expert wine guide and the local hosts to discover a unique red wine produced with 100% Sangiovese Grosso grape, an indigenous grape Tuscany is known for since at least 200 years when Biondi Santi discovered it.
Clearly red wines are predominant in Montalcino by the way some wineries make rosé, sparkling wines within the traditional Tuscan style: dry, acid, fresh and fruity but not sweet!
Only 7 wineries are still producing Moscadello, a sweet wine to enjoy with cakes or aged cheeses.
For first time visitors this is a special day in the Tuscan countryside to enjoy rolling hills, sightseeing and postcard perfect spots you’ll be able to enjoy as your local driver guide knows the best panoramic stops (and she’s also somehow “obsessed” by landscape pictures!).
But as a first wine experience you will be spoiled at a point that no other Italian wine will satisfy you after this top Brunello wine tasting tour.
