A little piece of paradise
It’s a little pretentious for me to review Savignola Paolina. I am simply lost for words to describe this little piece of paradise in the middle Chianti. We were greeted and hosted by Elizabeth, an Austrian student studying wine making interning at Savignola Paolina. She is very knowledgeable to say the least (we are from Napa area.). With only 5 hector acres Savignola Paolina is a gem of a boutique winery. The current owner, Luzius, a Swiss industrialist, bought it from Paolina several years and continues to grow outstanding Sangiovese grapes. We tasted three Chiantis and my favorite is the 2019 Paolina.
Besides their wines, the owner’s dwelling, the wine vault, the kitchen, and the office, complex is a postcard perfect Italian villa. They also offer Airbnb as an option to those who want to stay there longer (only if we had known)..
We will definitely want come back to this little piece of paradise and will stay longer the next time.

Fabulous wine tasting at Tenuta San Beda
Had a wonderful time with David and Francesca at this intimate family and truly amazing vineyard . We were treated to 5 glasses of different wine along with delicious food, meats and cheeses. To end we also had their ‘brandy’. The quality of the wine was excellent. It is clear the amount of passion that is put into the production of the wines. Lovely people - we learnt a lot and couldn’t resist buying some to take home with us.

Excellent tasting
Mr. Valetti gave us a tasting of all his wines, white and red, accompanied by cold meats and cheese.
It was a great time.
The wines are fantastic and the teaching and explanations very interesting.
We also toured the facility.
As a result, we ordered 24 bottles of different wines, which Mr. Valetti had sent to us in France and which we received a week later.
In conclusion, a great experience.
To do again.
Thanks again!

Wines with character
We had a very good time at this vineyard, located in a dream spot for people visiting Tuscany for the first time. Besides the ideal setting, the welcome was great, as was the tour.
During the tasting, the wines were all very good. I'm not an expert, but even though I've always preferred white wines to red wines, I was still very surprised by the smoothness and, at the same time, the character of each of the wines I had the chance to taste. I had a very beautiful experience! Thank you very much and all the best for the future.
