Open Day at Villa La Ferdinanda for the welcoming to Rugiolino

Meeting at Artimino for Sunday, 9th November, from 2:30 p.m.


A hard vintage, but of good quality for young wines, Carmignano and Chianti. The day will be dedicated to Tuscan food and wine.

The now traditional appointment with the open day at Villa La Ferdinanda is back, to taste the first wine of the year and the new oil of the Artimino farm. The Villa of the Medici, commissioned by Ferdinando I de’ Medici and which still dominates Montalbano from the Artimino hill, opens its doors to friends, customers, fans, professionals and enthusiasts, for a day of feasting and good taste.


«Harvest this year has not been easy: the grapes were healthy, although the rainfall and the vagaries of the weather had not helped. But then a veritable hail storm struck our vineyards on 19th September. Harvest was still going on and not to disappoint the expectations of those who know the quality of our wines, we decided to give up the production of Carmignano Riserva and of Vinsanti», Alessandro Matteoli, agronomist of the Artimino farm, commented.

Good, instead, is the quality of new wine, of white and rosé, of Carmignano and Chianti. The event on Sunday 9th November will be the perfect opportunity to taste the Rugiolino, a drinkable blend of Sangiovese, Canaiolo and Gamay, an excellent companion for tables in fall. At the tasting table, also the other wines of the estate, in conjunction with typical Tuscan products, with lots of "Fettunta" garlic bread made ​​at the time on the grill and roast chestnuts.

From 2:30 to 6:30 p.m.: tasting of wine and typical Tuscan products
