Yoga at the Vineyard!

And for all the people who love nature and sports, Tenuta Torciano will wait for you in the green vineyards with a new and exciting experience. Try the “zen” of the vineyards by Tenuta Torciano, partner of the Fitness Club for outside Yoga classes. The teachers will provide Torch Lighthearted style Yoga classes at all levels in the vineyards of our estate. The Yoga classes at the vineyard will give greatness to the beauty of the environment by encouraging participants to explore the movement and to feel wonderful in their bodies.

We love outdoor courses because nature improves the experience and helps us to be more aware of our body. The posture of Yoga is like a moving meditation: synchronizing the breath together with the physical movement. During spring, summer and autumn Yoga classes will take place outdoors in the vineyards, depending from weather. Lessons could be deleted due to adverse weather conditions. In this case we will make a complete visit of the winery with a Tuscan lunch and wine tasting.

Yoga classes at the vineyard are available for groups of two or more people. From 10 am to 11.30 am you will learn everything about the Yoga discipline. After that you will be welcomed in the cellar or in the green vineyards for a delicious tuscan lunch with a vertical wine tasting.

The winery experience consists of a vertical tasting of 15 Tuscan products, which will be combined with the lunch served in the cellar or in the vineyards according to availability.


The 4-course lunch will accompany the tasting and the wine school:

• Typical tuscan appetizer with salami, cheeses and bruschetta
• Tuscan Ribollita Soup or Truffle Lasagna

Luciana Cilemmi, deals with Magazine, Style Director and Co-founder of Tenuta Torciano winery and Tenute Giachi wines and the innovative Viviarium Restaurant of Bottega Torciano- Tenuta Torciano & Winery is part of an international reality that is born in Italy by an initiative of Pierluigi Giachi and Luciana Cilemmi, who have worked for years in the Italian wine market , expanding throughout in the United States, managed and controlled by the american company ' Bellavini winery. Luciana Cilemmi was born in San Gimignano to a family of artists specialised in the restoration of medieval buildings. Having completed her technical studies, she now pursues the interests passed on to her by her family, like her passion for artistic objects, in particular works of art created in Tuscany between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. But she reserves her keenest enthusiasm for the historic works completed in San Gimignano between 1100 and 1300. Alongside her love of medieval history, she is fascinated in wines produced from Tuscan vineyards, which, together with saffron and wool, were the most sought-after goods traded by the wealthy noble families of San Gimignano already in medieval times. Luciana Cilemmi left San Gimignano at the age of 21 and embarked on a pilgrimage in search of knowledge and to discover the new winemaking skills and products that were then developing both in Italy and in France. In the meantime she added to her knowledge of wine by attending specialised courses and becoming a master of wine. On returning to Siena, she discovered a wonderful area near Murlo where she fell in love with the tiny, unspoilt village of Montepescini. She bought the estate of Montepescini where, based on the experience she had acquired over the years, she found a particular lie of the land, special climatic conditions and an altitude suited to the creation of great wines. With enormous enthusiasm, doggedness and considerable effort, a reclamation programme was started to renew the terrain which was then used to plant 30 hectares of specialised vines. Sangiovese is the dominant vine, followed by Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. Years of experimentation and the introduction of new winemaking techniques eventually led to the creation of Luciana di Memmi’s prestigious wines. Some years ago, Luciana Cilemmi succeeded in realising her dream of a lifetime: to return to her home town, San Gimignano. She was destined to buy the historic palace with the medieval tower, which had been owned by the prestigious Useppi family from 1200 to 1927 and had then passed to the noble and historic Chigi family of Siena. The Useppi were a powerful Sienese family who owned several castles. This beautiful medieval building has an elegant and distinctive façade full of Sienese and Pisan architectural influences. If you find yourself in San Gimignano, make sure you visit the Chigi Tower and Palace. Luciana Cilemmi holds regular events in the rooms of the medieval tower, such as the presentation of wines, both from her vineyards and elsewhere, attended by international journalists, experts from the sector and critics. She also organises exhibitions of works of art and paintings, and press conferences on the subject of "Wine in San Gimignano during medieval times”. Visiting the home of Luciana Cilemmi is like re-living an aspect of the past that will not return except through the imagination of those who have believed and continue to believe in this story.
