Visitors will walk through the cellar and learn about its long tradition of winemaking, which dates back to the Etruscans several centuries before the Christian era. The tour includes a tasting of local wines paired with bruschetta drizzled with extra virgin olive oil. The cellar is air conditioned for comfort during the visit. Transportation to and from the cellar is not included, and the area is a no-car zone. Parking is recommended at nearby lots such as Parking S. Donato or Parking P8. A minimum of two people per booking is required.
Respecting the philosophy of great red wines, and the terms defined for the aging in wood here we find rows of enormous Slavonian oak barrels, perfectly conserved, where lie thousands of hectolitres of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, and other rows with dozens of tonneaux and barrique barrels made of quality French wood. In the other areas of the historic cellar one is pushed and squeezed gradually into the buried depths of the sandy tufa to penetrate into the twilight, suggestive paths of tunnels have been created from which fossils have been found denoting its very ancient origins.
