The liquid line up at Tenuta Torciano and the Wine maker Pierluigi.
During my recent wine tasting tour of the Chianti Region near Florence, the first stop was Tenuata Torciano, in San Gimignano. Located about 40 minutes outside of Florence, this winery has been owned by the same family for 13 generations. It’s a great destination if you’re looking for things to do around Florence, or an option for a day trip.
The cellar of Tenuta Torciano
I was surprised to be met by Pierluigi, the proprietor himself. He gave us tour of the cellars and we chatted a bit. He is very passionate about wine, Mamma’s food, and likes to oversee all the wine tastings. Pierluigi got us settled in for our private wine tasting lunch, which included some of Chef Mamma Graziella’s delicious homemade food. The truffle lasagna and Tuscan bean soup were standouts.
Tenuta Torciano also offers a wine tasting school as well as trips with a private driver (a great choice if you’d rather focus on the wine than driving).
Mostly liquid lunch at Tenuta Torciano
Our wine tasting lunch included tasting these wines:
Tenuta Torciano also offers accommodations on site as well Tuscan cooking & pizza classes. Wine tastings start at € 12.
