Traveling and 4–legged open wineries at Casato Prime Donne of Montalcino

At Casato Prime Donne the ecofriendly edition of Open Wineries and traveling tasting of 4 wines and trekking in the vineyards for wine lovers with dogs

Sunday, May 25th, “Open Wineries” 2014, in the name of love for nature and animals: here is the Wine Tourism Movement of Tuscany chaired by Violante Gardini. At Casato Prime Donne in Montalcino, where Violante is playing at home, as the owner Donatella Cinelli Colombini is her mother and she is who invented the wine tourism day in 1993, a program that is tailor–made for wine lovers with 4–legged friends.

Bowl of water, dry food for dogs at the entrance, where wine lovers will receive a crystal goblet and will begin their itinerant tasting. This is the new wine tourism proposal on which the two wineries of Donatella Cinelli Colombini, the first in Italy with an all female staff, focus a lot.

Here is the path: a tasting of white Sanchimento IGT 2013 by Fattoria del Colle as a welcome, then barreltasting – a tasting from the barrel – of the coming Brunello 2012 inside the winery, Cenerentola DOC Orcia 2010 in the vat room of wind, and finally Brunello 2008 reserve in the tasting room. Local history, secrets of Brunello (with the new "primedonne del cuore" project), some taste of great Pecorino cheese and the suggestion of tradition–rich environments, provide the opportunity to a fun and exciting together experience.

For wine lovers who really love their 4–legged friends and want to take advantage of the spring to give their dogs the opportunity to run without a leash, the trekking in the vineyards of Brunello is ready. There are no pesticides in these vineyards, the cultivation complies with the rules of organic farming even if there are no certifications (because «we do not want much bureaucracy»).

Along the way in the countryside entered in the UNESCO World Heritage Sites, there are the dedications of the winners of the Casato Prime Donne Award (Maria Carmela Lanzetta, Carla Fendi, Josefa Idem, Carla Fracci ....) and the works of art by artists from Tuscany. A path in culture, nature and wine where wine lovers with dogs maybe will meet a new friend: Felix, the huge Golden Retriever of Violante, Donatella and Carlo.
