Tenuta Valdipiatta offers its guests a rare experience: an exclusive wine tasting in the cellar carved out of the tufa,
where our choicest wines are refined in wood. Tasting wines drawn directly from the barrel is normally a privilege
reserved for winemakers, but we have decided to extend the possibility to those guests who are most passionate
about wine. As barrel-drawn wine is a product in development, guests will be guided through the tasting by our
experienced technical personnel. The tour of the cantina will be followed by a tasting of three of our finest wines
accompanied by a sampling of middle-aged Pecorino di Pienza DOP sheep milk cheese and Tenuta Valdipiatta Extra
Virgin Olive Oil served on slices of Tuscan bread.

This tour offers our guests the opportunity to really understand how wine is made and to discover the secrets of great
handcrafted winemaking. It will begin with a visit to a selected vineyard with a look at how the vines are trained and
will continue with an educational overview of the production facilities and winemaking techniques. The visit will
culminate in our wine cellar with a taste from different oak barrels and barriques to discover the evolution of aged
wines. This fascinating tour will be followed by a delicious tasting featuring a selection of our estate-grown wines and
a sampling of middle-aged Pecorino di Pienza DOP sheep milk cheese and Tenuta Valdipiatta Extra Virgin Olive Oil
served on slices of Tuscan bread.
