Important details from the source

• Discover Tuscany’s finest vineyards from COMO Castello Del Nero, set in the heart of a region which is home to more than 500 wineries crafting one of the most famous wines on the planet.
• The homely, family-run vibe of this charming winery belies a contemporary, sustainable approach to a wide range of organically produced wines, the surrounding vineyard fertilized by 80 native geese who also keep grass and unwanted insects in check.
• Like many Tuscan wineries, Casa Emma also produces its own olive oil, as well as balsamic vinegar, honey and even pomace flour.
• Open for tours and lunch daily (reservations only); from €28.
• A favourite of COMO Castello del Nero sommelier Gioele Biundi, Rampolla sits in Chianti’s valley of the Conca d’Oro, south of Panzano.
• A long-term practitioner of biodynamic winemaking, the winery is also a pioneer of alternative vinification techniques, ageing its wines in terracotta amphorae and other less orthodox vessels.
• Vineyard and winery tours Monday-Friday, April-October, 9am-1pm only; tastings available in the shop free of charge, tours from €30.
• The new Antinori winery is the Disneyland of Chianti, but sympathetically built into the land, only revealing its true scale and ambition once visitors are inside.
• The benchmark brand offers a wide range of slick tours and tastings, with or without lunch at its al fresco restaurant overlooking the vines.
• Open daily, April-October, 10am-6:30pm; November-March, Monday to Friday, 10am-5:30pm, Saturdays & Sundays, 10am-6pm; from €45.
