We were so fortunate to find Angel and Enotropea Tours to fully immerse ourselves in Carmignano history and its extraordinary wines. Angel secured us by private car from our Airbnb in Carmignano. We visited Bacchereto and the vineyard and historic farm that was a hunting lodge part of the Medici hunting estate in the 1400’s. The history and the wines (Terre a Mano, Vin Santo, Sassocarlo) were memorable and a once in lifetime intimate tasting experience with the owner of the winery and Angel. Then, our day concluded with a visit to a much larger winery Tenuta di Capezzana dating back to wine and olive production on the land since 800. We had a guided tour of the cellars and wine tasting (Carmignano DOCG, Trebbiano) with a lovely lunch overlooking the beautiful vistas. Angel is very passionate and knowledgeable about the history and the wines. What a love and appreciation we now have for the region of Carmignano and its extraordinary wines because of our new friend Angel! We are looking forward to a future tour with Enotropea and hope to see Angel again soon.
