Description
This Montalcino winery tour with wine tasting is held at Cava d'Onice, a small family-run estate that specialises in Brunello di Montalcino DOCG. The visit is private, with a maximum of ten participants, so it suits couples and small groups who want a relaxed visit.
The guide first walks you through the winery and explains how the family handles production and ageing, and the thinking behind each bottle. Then comes the tasting, built around the estate's Tradition experience.
- a Rosso di Montalcino DOC
- the estate's Brunello, labelled Sensis (DOCG)
- a rosé Brut sparkling wine
Each glass is paired with Tuscan bruschetta and local pecorino, picked to show off the wines' aromas. The whole visit takes about an hour.
It is a good fit for wine lovers and for anyone curious about how a Montalcino family makes its wine. The tour runs in English and Italian. Hotel pick-up and drop-off are not part of it, so plan how you will reach the estate.
