I wanted to give my best compliments for the experience you gave us with the tasting and the tour of the cellars.
Beautiful history of the estate and kind and knowledgeable staff
I believe everything is beautiful as it is
Fantastic!
My friend and I are not connoisseurs, but the girl who led us during the tour explained everything in detail, also answering our questions.
She was really very helpful!
The wine was excellent, we chose the option with the charcuterie board which I recommend for those who are not from the area, to taste typical local foods.
These were also really delicious!
I would do it again ☺️
Beautiful place!!
The winery is located in a beautiful area that transmits peace... super recommended!!
The staff was very kind and attentive and they explained many topics to us, in addition to giving us advice.
Just that the option to do it in Castilian/Spanish be available.
Excellent tasting
The location is truly evocative, both inside the building where the barrels and bottles are kept, and outside where we did the tasting.
Excellent explanations, clear and detailed.
And of course, delicious wines!
We were also offered a small taste of Vin Santo.
Thank you for the tour
Tasting in Chianti
The reservation was at Tenuta Folonari, and we thought that was the name of the winery and its location. However, it was the name of the family that owns the business. The tasting site is Tenuta di Nozzole in Greve and not in Castellina as we booked.
Except for this detail, the rest went smoothly. A pleasant experience led by Fabrizia, charming, super friendly, and with outstanding Spanish.
It was an intimate tasting, totally personalized for the two of us with 3 wines and appetizers included. Afterwards, they invited us to visit the winery.
A 10/10 experience!
Correctly define the location of the tasting so what happened to us doesn't happen to others.
Great experience
Fantastic
