I have experienced the same mutual pleasure in being with you and having you as my guests!
Truly beautiful to experience together with such knowledgeable and passionate people.
I hope there will soon be another opportunity to share our life paths.
A big hug,
Augusto
Beautiful organic wines
The selection of cured meats offered as an appetiser were delicious and were better than some of the high end meats we had purchased in Bologna! All in all a great experience with a great host.

it was a real pleasure for me too to host people who are so knowledgeable and competent in oenological terms and at the same time extremely courteous and polite.
I am happy that we created that empathy that makes moments like these unique and unrepeatable.
I look forward to your father's visit as soon as he is able,
a hug from Italy,

Great experience!
The lunch was very good (and hearty!) and wine pairings and tasting were great to experience. We loved that the pace was relaxed and not rushed.
We weren’t sure what to expect when we signed up to this tour but it was in the end one of the highlights of our four-day stay in Bologna.

I must also thank you for the pleasant time we spent together.
You were attentive guests, your questions were witty and interesting.
I really enjoyed spending this time together and discussing wines, dishes and ideas.
A big hug from Italy and I look forward to seeing you soon for a new experience together,
Augusto

For me too, spending a half day with You, Robert and the other guest friends was extremely enjoyable.
You are very knowledgeable and careful people from the tasting point of view with excellent sensory skills and even more important you are beautiful people from the human point of view.
Your wine for Holland has already left and I believe that already on Wednesday you will be able to toast your vacation in Italy and for me it will be a bit like being there with You through my wines.
A Hug from Italy,
Augusto
Just Another Day
We arrived on foot following a 1 hour bus journey out of Central Bologna, for our 4 person (English), 3 hour "experience".
A keen giver of knowledge on the process of growing and the patented technology involved in the production of the raw grape juice product. Onwards with Augusto, past the huge vats, the timber barrels and into the temperature controlled store. Each stage clearly explained and our many questions answered.
Onwards to the Cantina. Inside this building, a huge room, and a single round table, laid with a startling white table cloth and napkins, bright cutlery and sparkling glasses. WOW!
A 5 course dinner intertwined with the excellent range of wines produced by this vineyard. We started with the sparkling wine, then to I think a couple (could have been 3) whites, and then not before time, the reds, including his desert wine. All topped off with the 2015 award winning vintage red.
5 hours after arriving Augusto taxied us to the bus stop.
Augusto gave us more than everything we wanted from this visit to the Tuscanny region of Italy. Sheer pleasure and a host that only wants to please. Thank you Italy, thank you Augusto.
Don't ever lower your standards. We appreciated everything you said and did.

anche per me è stato un piacere passare insieme Voi uno stupendo pomeriggio da pranzo a sera.
Il tempo é letteralmente volato come per ogni esperienza stupenda dove ci si dimentica dell'orologio.
Un cordiale saluto e a presto,
Augusto
Fantastica Esperienza
Augusto con competenza e passione riesce a portarti in un viaggio fantastico che termina a tavola con ottimi piatti della tradizione locale degustando i vini frutto di 5 generazioni di cura e lavoro.
Davvero una fantastica esperienza.
Grazie Augusto
