Wine Tasting at the historic Villa Pitiana -- Reggello, Firenze
The Reggello area
The municipality of Reggello extends for 121.22 square kilometers - on the north-west side of the the Pratomagno area and the Greater Arno valley and is mostly mountainous. In medieval times it was called Castelnuovo della pieve di Cascia. It was renamed "Reggello" in 1773.
Since the dark ages Reggello's forests and agricultural products have always been its main economic sources. The traditional art of the inhabitants of this community was the making of furniture, agricultural equipment and wine barrels. Today, besides having a flourishing furniture industry, Reggello produces grain and excellent wines and olive oils. In fact, its olive oil is considered by connoisseurs to be one of the best in the world.
The Ristorante Villa Pitiana has organized tastings of some of the best typical products Tuscany produces - wines, olive oils, cheeses, salami. These are professional tastings, run by experts in their fields and only the finest products are offered. All courses take place in Villa Pitiana's "jewel" - its precious wine cellar.
