“Fantastic!! Our two hostesses attended to our every need. They made us feel like VIP’s while maintaining a very personal and approachable style. The winery is very new and beautiful in a typical Italian contemporary style. Our dinner wasn’t award winning, but it was shared in such a nice setting - on the lawn in the vineyard - and with such loving care that we felt we were experiencing an Italian dream! This is a great excursion at the end of a perfect Montepulciano day. Special thanks to our hostesses (and now friends) Massimilliana and Trina. Molto, molto bene!!Read more”
