Excellent experience
Being welcomed directly by Augusto Zuffa was a great honor. He gave us a tour of his winery and vineyards, explaining complex chemical concepts in a very simple and engaging way. The best part was the tasting of his excellent wines, rich with passion, love, a lot of hard work and innovation. I was struck by the attention to quality, to the environment and to the health of the consumers. Highly recommended

Gentilissima Miriam,
l'onore e il piacere è certamente reciproco perchè questo è quando si incontrano persone tanto preparate, curiose, attente, empatiche e intelligenti.
Spero ci sia nuovamente nel nostro rispettivo cammino un altro momento per incrociare le nostre strade e percorrere semmai un altro pochino di strada insieme per confrontarci e scambiarci idee e opinioni su argomenti tanto importanti quanto cari ad entrambi.
Un grande abbraccio,
Augusto

An experience worth having
A wonderful experience with an extensive tasting of excellent wines and good food.
Beautiful location, friendliness and helpfulness from all the staff, everyone was very nice.
Nice tour of the cellars and vineyards.
It's a shame there was so little time available, due to other concurrent events, that we couldn't delve into the subject deeply and calmly.
Worth coming back.

Gentilissimo Claudio,
grazie della Sua recensione.
Sicuramente ci saranno altre occasioni per approfondire maggiormente la filosofia, i concetti e le innovazioni aziendali.
Ci sono tante persone, tanti ospiti come Voi che entrano clienti e diventano amici a Cantine Zuffa e cerchiamo di dedicare tempo a tutti ma Voi siete tantissimi e noi pochi quindi cerchiamo di fare del nostro meglio ma non sempre riusciamo quando giorni ed orari delle visite sono troppo vicini tra loro.
Un grande abbraccio e alla prossima,
Augusto

What a beautiful experience!!
A wonderful winery, immersed in the region's native vineyards.
Augusto is a wonderful person, truly passionate about his work, carefully explaining to us all the processes they carry out at the company.
We felt like we were one big family, even with the other people in the group.
The food was delicious and the wine, needless to say, so many varieties, sparkling, whites, reds, rosés, all of excellent make and quality.
Winery and tour are super recommended!

Excellent Afternoon
Myself and my five friends all had a fantastic afternoon with the wonderful Augusto. Following our tour of the grounds, we enjoyed an incredible 5 course meal, with Augusto walking us through in detail the accompanying wine with the food. I was initially hesitant at first of this tour as hadn’t had the best experience with Organic Wines, however Cantina Zuffa has proved me entirely wrong and I wouldn’t hesitate to visit Augusto and the vineyard again.
Reply from Cantine Zuffa
Dear Sam,
I also really enjoyed spending the day together.
We had a great time, and I can’t wait for the next opportunity to dive deep into our world.
I agree with you.
Making organic wine is much, much harder than making regular wine, so it requires exceptional raw materials and cutting-edge technology. We have many patents we can rely on and a deep understanding of both the raw materials and the technology—only then can an organic wine be not only healthy, authentic, and headache-free, but also excellent from an organoleptic standpoint.
We’ve been making organic wines for only two generations, but we’ve been making wine for five generations.
When we ventured into organic winemaking, we already had a wealth of experience with conventional wines behind us.
Only in this way can one acquire deep knowledge, and by combining it with great grapes and great technology, one can make a great organic wine.
Warm regards to you and to all of you, and see you soon,
Augusto

An authentic journey into the heart of organic wine
A simply perfect experience, worth 5 full glasses!

The visit to Cantine Zuffa is much more than a simple tour: it's a true journey into the world of organic wine, made of passion, tradition, and innovation. Augusto welcomed us like special guests and opened the doors to his world with a truly rare helpfulness and expertise. He managed to convey in an engaging way all the love, dedication, and study he puts into his work every day, making us fully understand the value of organic winemaking.

The tour was interesting and well-structured, and the tasting moment was truly extraordinary: a rich food and wine journey, with attention to the smallest details, featuring organic, genuine, and delicious dishes, perfectly paired with a wide and surprising selection of wines. Every taste told a story, every glass was a discovery.

You can clearly perceive the quality of the raw materials and the attention to every single detail, both in the food and in the wine.

We will definitely be back to visit Augusto, maybe adding a seat at the table ;)

A pleasant experience
It was a very pleasant day, Augusto is a kind, helpful person and has a knowledge of his work that makes it enchanting to hear him speak.
We tasted 12 wines, all truly excellent, in fact we came home with a good supply!
The food accompanying the wines was also really excellent.

Vi aspetto quindi presto per una nuova avventura insieme,

Cantine Zuffa - fantastic hospitality, fantastic wines
Augusto was a fantastic host first showing us around the estate and explaining their unique wine making process in detail which was really interesting. We were then treated to a top quality food and wine pairing experience. I cannot recommend this experience highly enough. One of the best wine tours I have been on - and I have been on many ;) grazie mille Augusto!

Dear Thore,
I must say that I always learn something from the people who visit our lands and our company.
It was really nice and interesting with you and Thomas. We spent six hours or more together without even noticing, because it was so enjoyable to talk and discuss everything.
Wine, tennis, food, Spain, Denmark, Germany, Italy—it was a truly fantastic experience for me too.
I hope to see you again soon for another wonderful day together.
Best wishes from Italy and Imola,
All The Best,
Augusto
