We met the owner who spoke very little English but his beautiful and brilliant daughter helped us bridge the language gap for the tasting.

We were welcomed right away by Susana, the owner, who led us to the cantina. After a very warm welcome she led my wife and I down to the winery. Since this was our first time ever in a winery she explained the whole process in italian while my wife translated for me. It is inspiring to meet people with passion and love for what they do like the owners of this place. She offered us cheese and cold cuts while we tried the delicious wine and amazing olive oil. Needless to say we walked away with bottles of each but never felt pressured to buy, even though who wouldn't after trying their wonderful products. Do yourself a favor and make the drive, the city center is not that far away and you will fall in love with the place.

Wonderful side trip!…read more I discovered the De Ricci winery through travel friends who invited me on this enchanting tour, found on TripAdvisor for $31. I learned about the wine, the Etruscan history in Tuscany, and got to visit an ancient underground Etruscan temple! The wines offered during the tasting were lovely, most of them made with the sangiovese grape family. Fun fact: What animal is on the wine label? If I were to do this again, Id choose the other package on Trip Advisor for $39, as that included a sommelier. As this was, we were left to our own devices. Still fun but not completely satisfying. The little town of Montepulciano has an interesting history, as explained by our Montepukciano De Ricci wine tour guide. I wont share because its definitely part of the fun of the visit. The tiny town has a marvelous chocolate shop, museum and s tower which you can climb (only 75 steps!) and take incredible photos of the Tuscan countryside.

Our tour & tasting was the highlight of our short 3-day trip to Tuscany.

Why would anyone pass on the chance to visit a cellar under the Grand Piazza that has been there for thousands of years. It was phenomenal. The 5000 BC tomb blew my mind. Momma Mia!!!

Our tour guide, Daniella, explained the wines and motivation of Canneto while in the barrel room and made sure we had a fun tasting. The wines were all big and expressive of the land, packing a real punch without letting the alcohol overpower the taste of the grapes. Canneto is doing well recognizing their strength as a smaller producer in creating superior wines.

Our favorite way to start is always the bruschetta for 2 .... trust me, even if you have 4 the dish for 2 is plenty to start with the table. We always take friends who come to town to Gattavecchi ... you can also get a tour of their wine cellar which has rich history and is a quick way to cap off a good lunch or dinner.

The owner and employees were great, so knowledgeable and friendly. We were interested in one or two wines not included in the tasting, and they immediately brought them out to include free of charge (luckily for us, because we loved them and bought several bottles to take home!) the winery and the tasting space was beautiful, they moved us to a gorgeous space in front because it was too sunny out back, which was much appreciated. Baby friendly as well! We brought our baby with us and she was welcomed as well. Overall, a great winery to visit in a beautiful area!

Their pool was lovely, and a good size for swimming, with plenty of shade by the trees if needed. She had good advice about local places to visit.

The local chefs they brought in to teach us were equally as wonderful and truly passionate about what they do. We had their Losna chardonnay which was very nice especially for this region which is not known for chards and the Curtun red was stellar. I personally loved the Curtun and found it much more pleasurable then most of the chiantis I've tried in the area. Can't wait to come back and hopefully bring more of the family to share.
