Cantine Aperte in Castiglion Fibocchi

Like every year, on Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th of May, the most awaited event in the calendar of the Movimento Turismo del Vino returns to Tenuta la Pineta. It will be a particularly rich weekend, characterized by visits, tastings and a special lunch in the vineyard. This year we will be the only producer to offer Cantine Aperte in Castiglion Fibocchi. As always, the goal of Tenuta la Pineta will be to amaze you and to combine wine with the field of art in order to decline together several dimensions of a positive lifestyle.

For 2023, in addition to the traditional collaboration with the contemporary artist Alessandro Bernardini, we have chosen to propose a special concert/exhibition in our cellar. This unprecedented collateral event will be entrusted to two musical artists, Andrea “Ciosti” Cetica and Stefano Bellacci. Both musicians come from highly successful conservatory studies. The former will propose unusual percussions, among which the use of some wine barrels will also stand out, the latter will support the show with his sax.

However, in this setting the absolute protagonist will obviously remain our wine. It will be possible to taste all the labels of La Pineta, including Chianti DOCG Sasso Bisciaio after its  splendid gold-medal performance at London Wine Competition 2023, where it also obtained a placement in the overall TOP100! Another protagonist will be our Passito Bronzante, at the center of a dedicated tasting, paired with a series of gourmet cheeses.
