Podere Le Cinciole

The name indicates a locality that has been called this way for centuries. The current owners of the estate took ownership at the beginning of the 90s and re-planted new vineyards in order to improve the quality of the wines. They restructured and expanded the cellar, renovated the machinery, diversified the production, renovated the old farmhouse following an eco-sustainable logic, realized a photovoltaic system that produces 100% of the energy. Today Le Cinciole is a modern and dynamic farm, 100% sustainable. The farm covers 30 hectares; ten hectares are destined for specialized vineyards, while a surface with about 1000 plants is destined for the cultivation of the olive tree. There are used only organic soil improvers and compost generated by the natural fermentation of pruning residues.

Admission Included

Savignola Paolina

Savignola is a boutique winery, located in the heart of Chianti Classico since 1780, with a vineyard area of ​​5 hectares and an annual production of about 22,000 bottles. Savignola, whose name has Etruscan origins, was regarded as a Christian settlement and was built around the first half of the 17th century. Marked by an all-female history, it is considered one of the historic companies of the area thanks to the figure of Paolina, who was the first woman to bottle her Riserva in a Bordeaux style bottle. She brought innovation to the historical tradition of Chianti Classico. The ancient barrel cellar of the estate dates back to the 1500s where tradition and innovation come together in the production of their wine. The terroir is made up of deep clay and chalky soil and requires rigorous work to create the perfect conditions for obtaining rich, intense and long-lived wines.

Booked this small group tour for me and my mom. It was fantastic! The "small group" ended up being just us and our wonderful tour guide, Angel. We visited two small wineries, one in a quaint family owned organic winery in Panzano called Le Cinciole and the other a little larger one called Luiano. Both wineries were lovely and had terrific wines. Le Cinciole was our favorite as we received a very nice private tour of the vineyard by one of the workers there. Her name escapes me, but she was absolutely lovely. Friend of the daughter of the owners. You really felt the passion and dedication they put into their wine. The lunch food pairing at Luiano was a nice addition to the tour. It is a 4-5 course meal each paired with a wine from the vineyard. Try their balsamic! We were given a tour of this winery by one of the workers along with some other guests from other tours. It was still not a large group. Angel was a terrific guide. He was friendly and equally both professional and personal. His knowledge of wine was plentiful and could answer any questions we had about different grapes, regions, and even recommendations for other areas to explore. He also gave us some great knowledge on what regions in the US that he recommends for certain types of grapes. Get your Pinots from Oregon! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is looking for a relaxing, fun, and educational experience and not just looking to drink a lot of wine to get drunk. Definitely request Angel as a guide for any of their tours. I know he does quite a bit of them as his knowledge and love of wine, his family, and world travels will be a great addition to your tour. =)

An amazing day!! We joined Angel back in October. His knowledge of the area was phenomenal, he was such a good guide. We had so many questions and he knew everything! Angel really looked after us! We were celebrating my birthday and we asked if we could make some changes to the tour and reduce the amount of vineyards we visited, he was more than happy to do this. The day was fantastic from start to finish. We highly recommend anything Angel does!!

We just traveled for 2.5 weeks through Italy, Croatia and Belgium (2 younger couples). Our half day wine/food trip to Chianti with Angel was one of the most memorable experiences we had during our entire trip. Angel is a great guide (personable, friendly, knowledgable, funny) who drove us throughout Tuscany for about 6-7 hrs. We visited two remote wineries in Chianti, the first involved a tour of the wine making process and full tasting of Chianti Classico with Italian meats/cheeses. The second stop was a family-owned vineyard with a full course lunch alongside more wine. It was a surreal experience having a private lunch at a Tuscan villa, and this completely exceeded our expectations (which were already high just from the experience of being at wineries Tuscany). We literally could not recommend this tour enough, and would do this again in a heartbeat.
