Step #27
Stage #27 of the Sommelier Wine Box (June 2020, led by sommelier Simone Vergamini) was dedicated to the wines of Lucca .
Tuscany is a beautiful land that offers visitors wonderful medieval cities and villages, rolling hills and high mountains, bodies of water and the Tyrrhenian Sea. A region known for an absolute quality wine production, appreciated all over the world: Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino, Bolgheri, just to name a few. But there are many other small realities, true treasures still little known to enthusiasts.
In the hills surrounding the city of Lucca, down to sea level, there are not many wineries and each of them deserves credit for having started a qualitative revolution , which is bringing the wines of Lucca to the national and international limelight. area. Small wineries that have chosen to recover and enhance the traditions of a highly suitable territory, embracing the organic or biodynamic philosophy, and in some cases both. Wines , those from the province of Lucca , capable of surprising even the most demanding palates : this is the sensorial journey we have designed, in the "Tuscany you don't expect".
On our journey through the hills around Lucca we discovered three companies: Fattoria Sardi , Tenuta Mariani and Fattoria La Torre .
