Brunello Di Montalcino experiences in Tuscany Italy

Brunello di Montalcino wine farm experience:

Set in a natural amphitheatre of vines in the rolling hills of southern Siena, this location offer vacation apartments , as well as short-term and bed and breakfast accommodation. The estate produces excellent Brunello di Montalcino wines and offers very unique wine tours, courses in cookery and photography.

“In the past I often played my accordeon to the grape pickers working in the vineyards, and my feeling was that the harmony of music created a magic atmosphere around the grapes and the must. I decided to bring to life the musical project connected with the vineyards and the wine that had been dwelling in my mind for some time.

I filled the cellars with the sound of music, then extended the experiment to the vineyards that produce Brunello wine. The effect coming from the music spreading through the vines is highly evocative. Bach, Mozart, Vivaldi, Scarlatti are the favourite composers of the foliage season of the vine, and the symphonic composers such as Beethoven and Mahler are notes that prevail in the rows of vines during ripening, to scare off the grape predators. This original experiment has recently aroused the interest of the researchers of the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Florence. Together we are studying in vitro as well as in the fields the possible effects that sound frequencies generate on the plant of the vine both in the rooting system, in the foliage and in the flower. Special attention is given to the pathology of the parasites and the fungi. It may be sometime before positive conclusions can be reached, and in the meantime I enjoy the pleasure that comes from giving music to wine, which is undoubtedly a wonderful way to produce poetry and to carry out research”

A visit to this property is a magical experience involving all your senses. The sense of sound is the first to be engaged, as you slowly approach the estate and hear the music gently spreading across the amphitheatre of vines directly in front of you. Fifteen speakers are strategically placed at the top of rows throughout the vineyard, often near the rose bushes which bloom from april until November, which allows your sight to capture a moment of pure joy.
