Azienda Agricola Canneto — Attraction in Unione dei Comuni Valdichiana Senese

We walked to this winery from town seeing that it offered splendid views and hoped to learn and have a tasting. It’s located on a public road, and as we approach, we don’t see anyone there, they are not open, the door is locked. There are a row of benches and picnic tables on the side of the road, so we decided to open a bottle we had already procured and eat a sandwich as we had planned to continue hiking the trail past the vineyard to another winery that might be open (this is an agrotourism and cycle road). About 20 minutes into our wine and sandwich, we are approached by a small blonde woman who says “this is not a public table, this is a winery!” We said “we are so sorry, we saw the benches and stopped, we did not know we are on private property, it is not labeled.” I was about to ask her when they would be open so we could come back, but before I could speak, she said “you did know you are on private property, you are surrounded by vineyards!” Ummmm…no kidding. We’re in Tuscany, surrounded by vineyards…and country roads. I said to her “it’s not labeled private on the map.” She said “it is! And you know.” So I said “show me where it says this, we turned down this road that shows public on our map, we see these benches, so we sit. We are not from here and are used to roads being labeled private, if they are private, back in the US.” She said “maybe it’s different here.” And I said “Right, so if it is different, you can explain to us…” but she stormed off. Now I will tell you, maybe we were sitting on privately owned benches, but we were on a road clearly labeled as a cycling lane. Instead of being kind to 2 tourists, she wanted to yell at us. What a sad unhappy person. If she had simply invited us to come back during their open hours, we would have happily come back. Or asked if we were lost, which more than half the time, we are lost! And fumbling with Google Maps. We’re staying in Montepulciano for a week, celebrating our 20 year anniversary, and planning to go on wine tours. Canneto Winery is clearly lacking hospitality and would rather chase people off than invite them to come and learn and taste what...

Canneto Winery, situated just a 5-minute drive from Montepulciano's historic center, offers an exceptional Tuscan wine experience. The estate spans 48 hectares (118.6 acres), with 30 hectares dedicated to vineyards and 4 hectares to olive groves, all cultivated using organic methods.

Visitors can embark on guided tours that include a walk through the vineyards and a visit to the cellars, where wines age in French oak barrels. The tasting sessions feature a selection of their wines, such as Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Rosso di Montepulciano, and the Supertuscan Filippone, accompanied by local cheeses, cured meats, and bruschetta.

The panoramic terrace provides stunning views of the surrounding Tuscan hills, enhancing the overall experience. It was literally the best views among all stunning wineries we visited in Tuscany.

The combination of exceptional wines, knowledgeable staff, and breathtaking scenery makes Canneto Winery a must-visit destination for wine enthusiasts exploring the...

We've visited this winery with a couple of friends in August. The view from the winery is spectacular - you get to see the panorama of the entire area full of wine yards, olive trees and towns located at the tops of the Tuscan hills. At the beginning the place looked almost deserted with absolutely no other visitors around, however inside we were welcomed warmly by Daniela, who then gave us an exclusive tour over the property. She explained how different types of wine are produced and stored. The tour ended with wine tasting which is free if you decide to buy some of their wine (otherwise you pay 5€ per person for tasting two types of wine or 8€ for three). A bottle of wine costs between 10 to 25€ which in my opinion is good value...
