DISCOVER NEW AND ELUSIVE TUSCAN WINES AT BORGO SANTO PIETRO Chiusdino, Italy

Daily tasting sessions feature bio-dynamic and organic wines to round out the Tuscan wine tasting experience 

 

Chiusdino, Italy (7/2011) -- With so many great wineries in Tuscany and never enough time to track down some of the most beguiling blends, what's a wine lover visiting the area to do?  Understanding this dilemma, Borgo Santo Pietro sommelier Mirko Favalli has developed a program introducing rare and exclusive Tuscan wines to the guests of Borgo Santo Pietro (www.borgosantopietro.com).

 

Held in the Borgo's wine cellar, Favalli hand selects wines from chosen Tuscan vintners who are generally  too small or too exclusive to open their facilities to the many visitors who come to Tuscany each year to sample some of the world's finest wines.   During the off season, Favaili spends five months sourcing and meeting with local vintners from more than 50 wineries in the area.

 

Guests who have a passion for wine can sign up for the daily session offered between 3:30 and 6:00 p.m.   Lasting approximately 90 minutes, guests taste between five and 11 organic and biodynamic wines from around the region.  All wine selections are accompanied by cheeses and cold cuts from Borgo's salumeria.  The number of wines chosen depends upon the guest's specific needs as each session is customized to match each guest's desires.
