My recent visit to the Chianti region for a wine tasting was an unforgettable experience that I highly recommend to any wine enthusiast. Nestled in the picturesque Tuscan countryside, this winery offers a perfect blend of exquisite wines, charming ambiance, and warm hospitality.

Read moreI recently had the pleasure of visiting this beautiful winery, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The setting, situated on a picturesque farm, was nothing short of stunning. The moment I arrived, I was captivated by the lush surroundings and the serene ambiance.
One of the standout features of this winery was their exceptional variety of balsamic vinegar and organic olive oil. It was a delight to explore the different flavors and blends they had to offer, and I ended up leaving with a few bottles to elevate my culinary creations at home.
But the real star of the show was, of course, the wine. What set this winery apart was their commitment to producing wines without sulfates. The result was a range of exquisite, pure wines that truly showcased the essence of the grapes. The tasting was a revelation, and I found myself savoring each sip.
The owner, who is also the wine maker, was incredibly welcoming. They took the time to share their passion for winemaking and the farm's sustainable practices. It was evident that they put their heart and soul into every bottle, and it made the experience all the more special.
To top it all off, the organic farm-to-table lunch they offered was a culinary delight. Fresh ingredients from their farm were expertly crafted into a delicious meal that perfectly complemented the wine.
In summary, my visit to this winery was an absolute delight. It's not just a winery; it's an enchanting journey through the world of organic and sustainable agriculture, where wine, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil are elevated to an art form.

The #1 U L T I M A T E wine tasting at an amazing winery: Tenuta Casanova! If you are near San Gimignao, Italy, oh my goodness! What a spectacular life-enhancing adventure ! Take Mark Limousine Tours - he recommemded as we booked the perfect drive and tour with him.
This was owned by the Vatican before Silvano purchased the 77 acres and renovated it. When they cleared the jungle it had become, something precious was found. There was an old, old vine discovered on the property. Silvano grafted it and the magic of the ancient vine is yours when you visit. No sulfites are used to preserve the wine.
The ONLY winery in Tuscany to eliminate sulfites in wine and balsamic. Magnificat is the wine about which the pope, in 1850, came to this winery and said "my soul is home." Heaven, most certainly. He said God put His own preservatives in the grape.
Hand-picked by 20 people, only the best grapes are chosen for their ultimate wine: for the life it has inside. No machines. It is God's design and wisdom that preserves the integrity. "Amazing" does not do this place justice. Silvano, you are one of God's blessings on this Earth!
A prayer before coming to Italy: just reveal Yourself to me, somewhere, sometime...Indeed, here, He did! Italy has many masters, geniuses. Michelangelo, Da Vinci, Silvano. Silvano, you honor God and you made me cry! The one who preserves Life is the ultimate. Amen!
Silvano, Tenuta Casanova Winery, may God continue...
