Wonderful experience

Knowledgeable and easy-going guide.
Impeccably kept castle and gardens.
Our experience included a light lunch and a tasting of three Chiantis.
But we were offered the chance to ask for a taste of other wines and this was much appreciated, since I am a sommelier.
The hot pappa al pomodoro was out of this world.
