Enoteca Belvedere di San Leonino

Winery in Chianti, Chianti Classico

About the Winery

The OperaVino cellars lie in the heart of historic Castellina, along the medieval “Via delle Volte” and the “Piazza della Torre.” Housed in ancient cellars dating back to before 1400, they welcome visitors with guided tastings of top local wines – Chianti Classico, IGT, and Super Tuscans – paired with regional specialties. Tastings are enriched by seminars that explore the area’s history and the traditional techniques behind Chianti Classico and extra virgin olive oil production.

Medieval wine tasting
It was a very nice experience - I recommend it! Good value for money
As an option some more snacks or antipasti could be added

A gem in Castellina in Chianti
For wine lovers, a must-try stop. An hour-long experience, different from the standard winery tours.
The girl welcomed us wonderfully, super knowledgeable and super cheerful.
She manages to put you at ease right away for something not excessively formal but also instructive.
The wines for tasting were very good and in the end she also had us try an oil tasting which I had never tried before!
The price of the experience is very good!
Super recommended.

Caro Micheal,

Grazie di cuore per aver condiviso la tua esperienza! Siamo felici che tu abbia apprezzato il nostro approccio: ci teniamo molto a offrire qualcosa di diverso dalle classiche visite in cantina, puntando su un clima conviviale e rilassato senza però rinunciare all’aspetto istruttivo.

Eleonora è stata entusiasta di leggere le tue parole; la sua solarità e la sua competenza sono il cuore pulsante delle nostre degustazioni e sapere di essere riuscita a trasmetterti la sua passione ci rende davvero orgogliosi. Siamo felici che anche il "debutto" con la degustazione dell'olio sia stato una piacevole scoperta!

Ti ringraziamo anche per aver sottolineato l'ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo, un aspetto su cui investiamo molto per rendere la cultura del vino accessibile a tutti.

Speriamo di rivederti presto tra i nostri vigneti per un altro calice insieme!

Un caro saluto,

Lo Staff di Cantinetta Belvedere

Castellina in Chianti
A journey through a Chianti tasting, with a very in-depth explanation that, using basic terminology, managed to explain the complexity and the origin of this wine's goodness.
Trying it will be an experience imprinted for life.
