A stone hamlet inside the Brunello vineyards

In brief

A hotel set in an eighteenth-century stone hamlet on a 2,800-hectare wine estate south-west of Montalcino, below a medieval castle. The town is eighteen kilometres away and you'll need a car. The Michelin-starred restaurant in the castle courtyard and the winery tours are open to non-residents.

Good to know

  • Tours and tastings must be booked in advance.
  • The castle and the winery are four kilometres apart, so a car is essential.
  • Tables of four or more must take the tasting menu.

What to order

  • Pappa al pomodoro dolgulu raviolisource ↗With basil, pecorino and Cinta Senese pork, at the casual restaurant.
  • Brunello soslu dana saltimboccasource ↗The Tuscan classic, made with the estate's own wine.
