Brunello di Montalcino wine music experience:

 
We are glad to offer a special daily wine experience in one of the most important wine world area in collaboration with one important Brunello di Montalcino wine producer.
 

              

“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”

The excellence of this wine is the result of the extreme accurate selection of the best grapes produced in the estate. The special elegance of its flavour is due to the very favourable location of the vineyards, grown north of Montalcino. Here the strength of the plants and the heat of the summer are kept under control and this produces the special delicate finesse of its taste.

 

Our wines:

BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO D.O.C.G. The excellence of this wine is the result of the extreme accurate selection of the best grapes produced in the estate. The special elegance of its flavour is due to the very favourable location of the vineyards, grown north of Montalcino. Here the strength of the plants and the heat of the summer are kept under control and this produces the special delicate finesse of its taste.

DO Rosso Toscano I.G.T. This wine expresses the complex relationship between twelve grapes that come from various roots and traditions. The perceptions and emotions given by this wine can be compared to a symphony in continuous progress. As a consequence, the result of each harvest is a unique product originated by an “ensemble” of grapes that are always different and that are chosen for excellence of their ripening.

“DO”12 UVE’s character makes this wine to accompany dishes of the farming tradition as well as game, roasts, red meats and seasoned cheeses. GEA Rosso S. Antimo D.O.C. This wine takes its name from the Goddess of the Earth and from my youngest daughter. It wants to express the truethfulness and the purity of the Sangiovese that grows in the rows of Frassina, located at the foot of the town of Montalcino. It is allowed to age in glass for over a year. Its freshness and joyfulness makes it the ideal wine to accompany any food preparation, especially first courses, cheeses and salami.

Program: Daily Visit to a Brunello di Montalcino wine producer with visit to the vineyard, to the cellar, wine tasting and light lunch plus transportation includes.
