Wine Tasting Experience on the Candia summit at Podere Scurtarola
Here is what's in store for you
At Podere Scurtarola, you can discover the winemaking traditions of the Candia Hills, a territory of great potential at the north-western point of Tuscany. With a history of viticulture that goes back at least 2000 years, many of the grape varieties you will find here are indigenous. One of them is the Vermentino nero, which has been vinified in purity at Podere Scurtarola, for more than 30 years.
The visit will begin in the vineyards, with the Apuan Alps as a backdrop and the Mediterranean Sea stretching out at the foot of the hills far below. Here it is easy to understand the term heroic winemaking, as the slopes of the vineyards exceed an 80% gradient. All operations are carried out manually and in harmony with the surrounding ecosystem. They don't use any herbicides or fertilizers, don't work the land, and in the wine cellar they don't add any yeasts. All their wines are very low on sulfates and therefore easy to digest.
The tour ends with a tasting of 4 different wines accompanied by a selection of local delicacies, such as cold cuts, bread, quiches, and cheese.
