En route to Florence, enjoy a private drive through Lazio, Umbria and the Tuscan Country side.
Travel through olive groves and vineyards to explore where the best italian wine is made from.
On your arrival at the Castle you will be welcomed with the kindness and genuineness that characterize those who have always been used to receiving and giving refreshment to wayfarers and pilgrims, and with the same kindness you will be accompanied into what might almost religiously be defined as a temple of the cult of wine in all its form You will start your trip by entering the castle courtyard and admiring the magnificent garden and the reserve of "verri", the wild boars from which the place took its name in ancient times.
You will then continue to the marvelous terrace overlooking the castle's vineyards and estate, and a talk will begin about the lands that surround it and the origins of the grapes that grow on this farm.
The visit will continue in the heart of the castle, where you will see the ancient walls that have formed the cellars since 1100 and be amazed by the enormous barrels and by the vivid aromas of grapes and wood with which these particular wines have impregnated the atmosphere over the years.
You will have a chance to admire the personal cellars of the owner of the castle with vintages going back to 1930 and the cured meats, which, as taught by the makers, have always been the ideal accompaniment to a good wine and help to create the atmospheric flavors that can be breathed in this castle.
Finally, having become acquainted with the whole range of genuine products of superlative quality, all produced by the Verrazzano farm, you will move on to the large hall where, gathered around the fireplace , you will sample the best wines and oils produced on this estate.
