In the nineteenth century, travellers who went off to discover the Old Continent included Chianti and Tuscany in the itineraries required for the development an educated person. Today, unfortunately, great fame often borders on the obvious or the holographic, and it is no longer enough to seek secluded corners and re-evaluate minor aspects in order to rediscover the connections that link vineyards, forests, castles, parish churches, villas and farmhouses.
Which is why, by developing an idea of continuity among the cathedrals of Chianti Classico and Colli Senesi, Montepulciano Nobile and Brunello di Montalcino, wine tourism, in this period of the grape harvest, offers a fresh outlook on an area which, despite aggressive stereotypes, proudly embodies the values of the new culture of drinking.
Given the winemaking phases that characterise the time of year, this event provides a perfect opportunity for visiting wine producers and watching the important stages of the winemaking cycle, including walks through the vineyards and tasting typical local products accompanied by the appropriate locally produced wines, all born of a desire to rediscover and experience the wonderful celebratory atmosphere that is part and parcel of harvest time in the countryside. . >>> |
