Starting directly from our Villa in Tuscany, a leisurely 30-minute walk along country roads will take you to the prestigious Tenuta Monterosola — one of Tuscany’s most renowned contemporary wineries.
Perched on a hill overlooking the medieval city of Volterra, Monterosola masterfully blends traditional winemaking techniques with cutting-edge technology to craft exceptional wines that capture the soul of this ancient land. During your visit, you’ll explore the innovative winery and enjoy a tasting of award-winning wines, each expressing the unique character of the terroir. The estate also produces an exquisite extra virgin olive oil, made from organically grown, hand-picked olives and cold-pressed in a traditional mill near Volterra.
Just 200 meters further on, you’ll reach Podere Grignano, a charming family-run farm with roots dating back to the 14th century. Nestled between the iconic towns of San Gimignano and Volterra, this historic estate offers a truly authentic Tuscan experience. Here, you can purchase local table wine sold in bulk and premium olive oil, both crafted using time-honored methods that reflect the family’s passion and dedication.
This short but enriching excursion is a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the food and wine culture of Tuscany, discovering producers who balance tradition and innovation — all just a short walk from the villa.
