We visited here for a wine tasting as it's the local house wine in many places. We love the white wine, and also the reds. Mauro has this vineyard in his family for the last 30 or so years. It shows. The passion for producing great wine cannot be rivalled. The tour, the pure original and natural cellars are amazing. You must not pass this vineyard by. We ordered a quantity of white, red, and not forgetting the delicious Vinsanto. We will make this a regular for our wine orders! Perfecto! Grazia Mauro!
We got an excellent introduction to especially the process behind making Santo, the wonderful sweet dessert wine. A wonderful place!
We had a wonderful day at Fattoria Santa Vittoria. Mauro did a great job of hosting us for a private tour of the winery, tasting, and preparing an amazing 4 course meal that he prepared along with wine pairings from the winery. An amazing day with great people.
Claudio gave our group a great tour, shared his knowledge of wine making and made our visit great fun. We loved the wine. Leopoldo was my favorite. Thanks, Claudio !!
Over the years in Italy and on this trip to Tuscany I have done many wine tours all impressive but all modern, meaning nothing gives a feel of old values when making wine. From the time we entered Fattoria Santa Vittoria we felt as if we had stepped back in time somewhat, our host Mauro was charming and welcoming. Fattoria Santa Vittoria are using modern day equipment don't get me wrong, but it's set amongst old rooms and impressive old historical equipment and not so clinical like most wineries hence the rustic and historical feel. We wanted to visit this winery having drank many various bottles in our hotel Casa Bellavista and various restaurants in the area, they are certainly very good and well priced. Our favourite is their speciality and far better than many sweet wines the Vin Santo which has been aged for 4-6 years where many sweet wines are only aged for 2, beautiful flavour and not over sweet like many. The tour was 1.30 hours and very informative and most interesting to hear this vineyards own view on production. Would highly recommend a visit.
My friends and I were given a comprehensive tour of this historic winery by the very knowledgable Claudio, the winemaker at Fattoria Santa Vittoria. He guided us through the whole winemaking process from start to finish, which was very interesting because they still use much of the same equipment today as they did hundreds of years ago. The most interesting part for me was the production of Vinsanto - Claudio explained it all perfectly, and then we got to taste the wines! In fact, Claudio showed us through the whole range, accompanied by some crusty local bread and their very fresh olive oil.If you want to see how wine is made in Tuscany, this is the place.
Thanks to the very helpful Mauro for an impromptu and interesting wine-tasting and mini-tour. There are some lovely wines on offer here, I will be back to buy some more.
Forget the highly commercialised and large scale winery tours.....this is something very different. Mauro the highly passionate owner gave a great tour of the vineyard, including the history of the winery and the wine production process. There were just 4 people on the tour and so it was highly personalised. We tried about 6 wines and they were so good we bought desert wines and a case of the red wine made from a local grape that has been rediscovered and lovingly re-established (pugnititello) and had it shipped home. We also found out that they have accommodation and a restaurant where the multi-talented Mauro cooked. I wish we had of known of the restaurant earlier........Just means we need to go again to one of the loveliest parts of the world!
We had a really nice time touring and tasting with Claudio! He was very kind and patient with our questions. We were really impressed that the selection of wines was so vast for a smaller winery! Our group bought several and enjoyed bottles back at the villa all week and then had some to take home! This was well worth the visit!
This place was amazing. Delicious wine. Knowledgeable staff. Really nice visit with Mauro during his busy harvest season.
