Castello
di Verrazzano can be reached after a delightful one-hour
journey travelling along the picturesque wine road, and
on arrival, its silhouette can be seen in all its ancient
grandeur on the horizon, lined at regular intervals by
the characteristic cypresses that create the road that
leads you into one of the most famous and typical wineries
in the whole of Tuscany.

On
your arrival you will be welcomed with the kindness and genuineness
that characterise those who have always been used to receiving
and giving refreshment to wayfarers and pilgrims, and with
the same kindness you will be accompanied into what might
almost religiously be defined as a temple of the cult of
wine in all its forms.
You will start your trip by entering the castle courtyard and admiring the
magnificent garden and the reserve of “verri”, the wild boars
from which the place took its name in ancient times. You will then continue
to the marvellous terrace overlooking the castle’s vineyards and
estate, and a talk will begin about the lands that surround it and the
origins of the grapes that grow on this farm.

The visit will
continue in the heart of the castle, where you will see
the ancient walls that have formed the cellars since 1100
and be amazed by the enormous barrels and by the vivid
aromas of grapes and wood with which these particular wines
have impregnated the atmosphere over the years |
|
|
You
will have a chance to admire the personal cellars of the owner
of the castle with vintages going back to 1930 and the cured
meats, which, as taught by the makers, have always been the
ideal accompaniment to a good wine and help to create the atmospheric
flavours that can be breathed in this castle. |

wines and oils produced on this estate, where good wine
and good food are created and appreciated as a natural

before all this took the name of eno-tourism and became
valued throughout the world. |
