Here is what's in store for you

Step back in time and savor the essence of fine wine on our exclusive tour at Castel Pietraio, which blends historical allure with the art of winemaking in Chianti.

Your wine experience begins in the enchanting courtyard of our medieval castle, where we trace its storied past back to the year 1000. As you wander through this historic setting of Castel Pietraio, you'll be transported through centuries of history.

The wine tour continues inside our cellar, a treasure trove of winemaking heritage with tools dating from the 19th century. Here, you’ll explore the evolution of winemaking techniques from ancient practices to contemporary methods, providing a comprehensive look at the craft's progression through time.

Conclude your tour with a wine tasting of three distinguished wines, each representing a different facet of our vineyard's expertise: a vibrant Chardonnay, a classic Chianti Colli Senesi, and an exquisite Chianti Colli Senesi Riserva.

Fantastic visit and excellent wines
We had a beautiful experience: the host led us on a tour of the small medieval village with kindness and expertise and showed us the cellar and the process of making his wine, totally natural, with passion and professionalism. For the tasting, a fantastic Chardonnay, a Chianti, and a Merlot, all three really good, paired with a platter of excellent products. Highly recommended for those who want to discover a world where people still put their heart into it
Everything was perfect

Leggere le vostre parole ci riempie davvero di gioia!
Siamo profondamente felici che abbiate vissuto un’esperienza così bella a Castel Pietraio e che abbiate percepito l’anima del nostro piccolo borgo medievale. Per noi non si tratta solo di una visita o di una degustazione, ma della condivisione di una storia di famiglia, di un territorio e di un lavoro che portiamo avanti ogni giorno con dedizione, rispetto per la natura e amore autentico per il vino.
Sapere che avete apprezzato la visita alla corte, alla cantina e al nostro processo di vinificazione naturale, così come i vini in degustazione: dallo Chardonnay "SINDRADA" al Chianti fino al Merlot "ALBERTUS" , ci rende immensamente orgogliosi. E ci fa altrettanto piacere che il tagliere con i prodotti del territorio abbia completato al meglio l’esperienza.
Il vostro “consigliatissimo” e quel “tutto perfetto” sono per noi la soddisfazione più grande e la conferma che il cuore che mettiamo in ciò che facciamo arriva davvero ai nostri ospiti.
Vi aspettiamo con entusiasmo per un nuovo brindisi insieme!

Great experience!
We had a great time at Castel Pietraio. When we arrived we started with a guided tour of the winery. Our guide, Catarina was very knowledgeable and passionate about their product!

We then tasted three wines on the veranda. It was well-paced. We didn't feel rushed or delayed.
The only thing I might suggest is to offer some nibbles to pair with the wine. They did offer potato chips, but could amp that up a bit.

Dear Nancy,
We sincerely thank you for sharing your experience and for the wonderful review.
It was a true pleasure for Caterina to show you around the family property and to share with you the commitment and passion we all put into our work every day. Knowing that you enjoyed the guided tour and tasting at the foot of the tower makes us particularly proud.
We also thank you for your suggestion regarding wine pairings. In addition to appetizers, you can always order a platter of local cured meats and cheeses, carefully selected to best showcase our wines and offer an even more complete experience.
We hope to welcome you back to Castel Pietraio for another pleasant occasion together.
