Love and Magic at Podere Le Ripi
We are a small boutique biodynamic winery owned by Francesco Illy. Discover the estate in a relaxed atmosphere and taste a fine selection of our wines. The visit includes the tour of the vineyards, walking through the Bonsai - the densest vineyard in the world - with an explanation of the biodynamic philosophy. Then, we enter the Golden Cellar - built manually with ancient methods - where we describe the production process from the grape to the bottle. We have always looking to offer to our guests a unique, informative and pleasant experience. Therefore, to dedicate a special attention to all our guests, we only offer private tours.
We will provide a tasting of three wines, including a Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG, the best expression of the values of this land. During the tasting, we also serve water and local breadsticks. The overall experience (tour + tasting) lasts between 1-1 and a half hour.
