Summary:
This was a great tasting and tour of Cesani winery, the location is stunning with panoramic views across the beautiful landscape. It was interesting to see the equipment needed for harvesting the grapes and the process of making their wines. We tried 5 different wines, paired with local cheeses which we loved. The wines were very reasonably priced in the shop so we also bought some to take home with us! Thanks to Marialuisa who helped us sort out transport there and back from San Gimignano as well.
