Small Winery, big Heart
I gave this experience to my girlfriend for her birthday.
It was a very interesting two hours and she loved it.
We started with a walk through the vineyards, where the owner told us the history of the winery. Then we took a tour of the estate and they explained the entire production process of their wine step by step.
Finally we tasted four of their wines, accompanied by an excellent platter of cured meats and cheeses. For each wine, they gave us detailed explanations and advice on the correct pairings. *We also had the opportunity to directly purchase the wines we tasted, so we could take a piece of the experience home with us.*
The winery is a bit hidden in the middle of the countryside, but it truly offers a beautiful experience for those who can appreciate the commitment and dedication of a family that has loved this work for generations and reaps its rewards.
The Tozzo family is an example of how even a small business can stand out and be on par with the large wineries that focus only on quantity.
We highly recommend it. If I had to describe the experience in a single word, I would choose QUALITY.
If you are lovers of Lugana then you absolutely must try their Lugana SOTTOSUOLO which, along with the Lugana BALLINO, are their flagship wines.

Passion knows no bounds
Emanuele welcomed us with great helpfulness and professionalism, he showed us his vineyards while he told us his story. His wines are deeply territorial, respectful of tradition but with an eye to the future.
We also liked the cheese and cured meat pairings that he proposed.
We also recommend it to those who are not experts and want to get closer to wine.

Excellent choice
We chose a small producer to get the most out of the experience. It was the right choice; from the visit to the vineyard to the tasting, we were accompanied by Emanuele's very professional explanations. The wines were so good that we bought a few bottles.

Better to avoid
The visit to the vineyard went well, a short walk while they tell us the story of how the company was born, okay that's fine.
During the tasting 2 out of 3 bottles of Lugana that we were supposed to taste were missing because we were told they had all been sold, while for the only one they had us try, we are told that that wine should have rested for 3 months to be ready but this one only rested for 1 because like the other bottles, all the ready ones had already been sold. So they had us taste 2 reds from another vineyard. In these situations I would say it's better to avoid holding a tasting.
