Ornina Winery - Vini biologici del Casentino — Attraction in Castel Focognano

This is a small, fun, family-owned winery is in the Casentino Valley. I have been to their winery twice in the last two years (October 2023 & October 2024). I wasn’t disappointed either time. They produce some different and interesting wines for the region.

I took a group of nine friends in October 2024, and we made a long afternoon tasting wines. Lisa is very knowledgeable, and Marco also spent time with us while he worked the grapes.

They were kind enough to welcome us for wine tasting the spite an odd hour in the afternoon. The wines were top-notch, and the prices were certainly fair for purchasing bottles to take home. The winery itself is new, very cozy and as mentioned beautifully designed. It is well worth the drive in the narrow mountain roads leading up...

We booked a 90-minute tasting and tour, and the experience was wonderful. The tasting was led by Lisa, who was extremely knowledgeable and made the whole visit memorable. The wines themselves are fantastic, ranging from a beautiful sauvignon blanc to the "Ornina" - a lovely red from mainly Sangiovese. The pinot noir, called "Ornoir", is one of the best I have tasted from anywhere in the world (and it recently won a major award). The winery building is also beautifully designed. A real highlight of our...
