Immerse yourself in the soul of Lignanello, an artisanal winery nestled in the heart of Val d’Orcia. This experience is crafted for those who seek to go beyond the glass, exploring the deep connection between the land, its ancient history, and the excellence of local products. Begin your journey with a guided walk among olive trees and Sangiovese vines, learning how the land is cared for with respect for nature’s cycles and biodiversity.
Descend into the winery’s unique cellar, carved into ancient Pliocene rock, where the natural humidity creates the perfect environment for wines to age in oak barrels. Your host will share the storey of the estate and the daily work that shapes each bottle. The tasting unfolds in a welcoming indoor room or, in fine weather, outdoors in the panoramic garden or directly in the olive grove, surrounded by the scents and sights of Val d’Orcia and the Renaissance skyline of Pienza.
Savour four distinctive wines: the harmonious macerated white “Saggiolo,” the fresh rosato “Peltrino,” the authentic Sangiovese “Bandolo,” and the robust Orcia DOC “Contrasti,” aged in small oak barrels. Alongside the wines, discover the estate’s extra virgin olive oil, served in a glass to appreciate its aroma before pouring it over fragrant bruschetta. Complete the experience with a platter of Tuscan cured meats and the renowned Pecorino di Pienza, celebrating the flavours and traditions of the region. The experience concludes at the winery, leaving you free to continue exploring the beauty of Val d’Orcia.
