| PISA &
THE SURROUNDING AREA |
In this area some of the most incredible
“Supertuscans” of the region are produced.
These are wines created using international grapes like
Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot or Syrah. We will visit the
holdings of Guizzano where we can speak to the owner,
the Countess Venerosi, who will be our guide through
her vineyards and will show us how a great Supertuscan
like Nambrot or Veneroso is masterminded.
We will then move on to Torre a Cenaia winery where we will taste severals wines obtained from the harvesting of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot and other international grapes. |
SUGGESTIONS
The hills surrounding Pisa are some of the most beautiful
in Tuscany. Small hamlets counting but a few hundred
inhabitants complete this stunning landscape, which
is influenced by the nearby sea and offers a unique
sense of peace and tranquility. The fresh sea breeze
makes the atmosphere pleasant and clean with luxuriant
vegetation. Like Florence and Siena, these lands are
filled with history, where some of the oldest and important
noble families had their historical homes and hunting
reserves. |
