Vineyard Tour of Volpaia
Had a very lazy day today, grabbed a coffee from our local, walked around our property and had lunch. Were hanging around waiting for our tour at 4pm in Volpaia. Arrived in Volpaia, met up with Roberta who took us on our tour. She gave us a bit of a history blurb on the origins of the hamlet, and took us to the olive oil pressing room first. Was so interesting to see how it's all done. Then we set of the the winery side of things, she took us through the entire process from crushing to fermenting, to aging, to bottling to drinking. We tried 1 white, which was crisp and fresh, and 3 reds. We liked the Classico Reserve the best. She showed us how the dry the sweet white grapes to make the dessert wine, what a sight! Wish we had of tasted that one, bit x'y to buy. All in all a very interesting experience, Volpaia was gorgeous, so old, yet behind the big ancient doors lies the most modern wine making equipment known to Italy!

Dungeons and Trebbianos
F ifty-two people, four churches, no priests. And the niftiest winery you've ever seen. Welcome to Volpaia. Nifty? OK, medieval nifty, as in a winery that's cleverly built into, around, among, and through a tiny Tuscan hill town (a hamlet, really) that dates from the 11th century. It's spitting distance to Radda in Chianti, 25 miles from Siena and 35 from Florence, and its historic purpose was to fend off attacks from the Florentines. Its purpose today is to demonstrate how much better it is than where you live.
Castello di Volpaia harvests Sangiovese, Cabernet, Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, Syrah and Chardonnay (this is not your grandfather's Chianti) from vineyards surrounding Volpaia, vinifies them in buildings hundreds of years old around the Piazza 23 Novembre, and ages them in labyrinthine cellars underneath a couple of those priestless churches - which is also the Lord's work. For you authenticity fans, you can finally climb up the steep stairs to a vin santaia, an attic where Trebbiano and Malvasia grapes hang on long chains from the rafters, like hams, drying out for months at a time before being turned into the most sacred sweet wine, vin santo.
And then you can go make lunch. The other nifty part about the winery (and olive oil producer) is that it's also a cooking school run by owner Giovannella ("call me Jo" ) Stianti Mascheroni. It's a very small cooking school, and yes, you can sign on for just one meal. I didn't enroll for class, but I did stay to eat Jo's Pasta Norma and her veal braised in milk and carrots. And drank her bright Chianti Classico, a food-affectionate, acid-rich sweetheart. For dessert, I nominated her for sainthood.

The Heart Of Chianti
"... The other side of the valley from Spaltenna and a short drive through the winding country roads of Chianti is Volpaia, a small village perched atop the mountain. Dating back to circa 1172, Volpaia is home to some of the finest Chianti Classico. After a stroll through this beautiful medieval village a relaxing lunch on the terrace of the Osteria di Volpaia is in order. Our suggestion would be that you enjoy a frittata with a glass of Bianco di Volpaia. ..."
