San Miniato wine tasting and Light Lunch

The Cosimo Maria Masini winery is located on the hills of San Minato, an ancient medieval village in the heart of Tuscany, the land of wines and white truffles. The estate, owned by the Masini family since 2000, extends over a single hillock, 40 hectares of vineyards , olive groves and arable land.

The cellar in which the vinification takes place is the same that created the Marquis Cosimo Ridolfi when he started his business in the mid-nineteenth century. The vineyards, located about 100 meters above sea level, extend for about 13 hectares on clayey soil, of Pliocene origin, rich in fossils with microclimatic conditions ideal for the vine.

The varieties bred are those of the Tuscan wine-growing tradition: Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Trebbiano, white and black Malvasia, Buonamico, San Colombano and an almost disappeared native, Sanforte.

The vineyards are cultivated with Biodynamic method which represents a further step compared to organic agriculture, in fact not only excludes the use of synthetic chemical fertilizers , but even tries to regenerate the soil, increasing its fertility and humus, so that the plants find a vital environment in which to grow.
