Organic Wine Tasting and Vineyard & Olive Grove Tour at Il Civettaio in Maremma

Your experience at Il Civettaio, an organic estate in the Tuscan Maremma, begins with a welcome from the owner, Gregorio. He will guide you on a tour through the property's vineyards and olive groves, explaining their commitment to organic farming and traditional, low-intervention winemaking, from the hand-harvesting of the grapes to the work in the cellar.

The tasting takes place in a scenic spot under the estate's pine trees, with a view over the vineyards. In case of rain, you will move to the indoor tasting room. Here, you will sample four organic wines that express the character of the local terroir. The tasting includes Il Civettaio Vermentino IGT Toscana, a fresh and aromatic white; two distinct reds, Il Civettaio Maremma Toscana Sangiovese DOC and Hiuls Maremma Toscana Sangiovese DOC, the latter produced only in the best vintages; and an IGT rosé or red selected according to availability.

The wines are accompanied by traditional bruschetta topped with the estate’s own organic extra virgin olive oil. You may also add a board of local cured meats and cheeses to your tasting. The selection varies according to season and availability but may include finocchiona, Pecorino cheese, and Tuscan prosciutto.
