After a few hairpin bends and a dirt road at the end, we reached the location. We were welcomed in a friendly manner. When we started with the first wine (white), there was already a table of food ready to be enjoyed. First came Italian explanation, then English. After the first wine, we visited the place where they kept the machines and barrels and got lots of explanation. We returned to continue with the red wine. After that a bruut. We got to visit the vineyard and even got to taste the grapes right off the plants.

About Winery and Wines

I'm Santo Gentilcore, founder and owner of Castello della Mugazzena. Our journey began in 2012, revitalizing abandoned vineyards. After four years of dedication, we celebrated our first harvest in 2016. Today, we cultivate 6 hectares of vineyards and produce three distinct wines that reflect the unique terroir of our region.

Our winery produces:

- Pantagruel: An IGT Toscana white wine made from Vermentino and a touch of Viognier. Positioned near the Osca River at 280 meters above sea level, it has been highly rated by Luca Gardini.
- Clitilde: A Spumante Metodo Classico crafted entirely from Chardonnay, grown at 400 meters above sea level, with a limited production of 1,500 bottles annually.
- Gargantua: An IGT Toscana red wine from Syrah, known for its elegance and drinkability, consistently earning accolades and featured in the Gambero Rosso wine guide.
