Manciano With your hands

Natural wine and olive oil tasted among the vines, bookable all year

Manciano

Above the hot springs of Saturnia the hills are planted with vines and olives. This estate walks you through both before it pours you anything.

How the day goes

  1. Out through the vineyards and the olive groves with a guide from the estate.
  2. Down into the cellar, where the natural wine is made with very little done to it.
  3. Taste the wine and the oil together; the cheese and salumi come from neighbours down the road.
  4. Ask for the picnic among the vines instead of a table and they lay it out there.

Nothing here is walk-in: the day is arranged in advance, which also means it is arranged around you.
