Here is what's in store for you

In the hills of Castellina in Chianti, the medieval tasting room of Belvedere di San Leonino sets the scene for a tasting focused on local history.

Your host, Eleonora, will welcome you and guide you through the stories and traditions of Tuscan viticulture. The experience begins with an overview of the Chianti Classico territory, uncovering the legends of the Gallo Nero symbol and the evolution of winemaking in the region over the centuries.

In the intimate atmosphere of the estate's Cantinetta, you will taste three of the estate's wines: a Chianti Classico Annata, a Riserva, and a Super Tuscan IGT blend, each representing a different expression of the territory. The tasting is completed with the estate's own extra virgin olive oil, served with breadsticks.

This tasting is designed as a direct connection to the history of the wine in your glass, perfect for anyone curious about the roots of Chianti Classico.

Incredible tasting!
The tasting is very comprehensive, they let you try several wines and the atmosphere in the winery is very picturesque. It can be done in English, French or Italian and the girl speaks very slowly and explains everything if none of them is your native language. A 10!

A gem in Castellina in Chianti
For wine lovers, a must-try stop. An hour-long experience, different from the standard winery tours.
The girl welcomed us wonderfully, super knowledgeable and super cheerful.
She manages to put you at ease right away for something not excessively formal but also instructive.
The wines for tasting were very good and in the end she also had us try an oil tasting which I had never tried before!
The price of the experience is very good!
Super recommended.

Caro Micheal,

Grazie di cuore per aver condiviso la tua esperienza! Siamo felici che tu abbia apprezzato il nostro approccio: ci teniamo molto a offrire qualcosa di diverso dalle classiche visite in cantina, puntando su un clima conviviale e rilassato senza però rinunciare all’aspetto istruttivo.

Eleonora è stata entusiasta di leggere le tue parole; la sua solarità e la sua competenza sono il cuore pulsante delle nostre degustazioni e sapere di essere riuscita a trasmetterti la sua passione ci rende davvero orgogliosi. Siamo felici che anche il "debutto" con la degustazione dell'olio sia stato una piacevole scoperta!

Ti ringraziamo anche per aver sottolineato l'ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo, un aspetto su cui investiamo molto per rendere la cultura del vino accessibile a tutti.

Speriamo di rivederti presto tra i nostri vigneti per un altro calice insieme!

Un caro saluto,

Lo Staff di Cantinetta Belvedere

A journey through a Chianti tasting, with a very in-depth explanation that, using basic terminology, managed to explain the complexity and the origin of this wine's goodness.
Trying it will be an experience imprinted for life.
