Whilst in Certaldo we stayed with one of Alma's good friends, Francesco. Francesco's family own a winery in Chianti, and so they produce a lot of wine using Sangiovese. We were treated to a tasting at the cellar and shown around by Francesco himself. It was great to be taken through a proper tasting of a Chianti wine by the winemaker himself, as well as taste some pretty amazing Vin Santo, a popular sweet wine of the region. I also really loved his Cabernet Sauvignon, which although packed a punch on the palate, was a wonderful wine which I think has a lot of potential to develop over a couple of years.
