Super Tuscan Wine Experience
Super Tuscan Wines in a Medieval Castle Setting
A tasting journey through bold Tuscan wines paired with traditional recipes
Set inside Sveva’s medieval castle, this experience is dedicated to one of Tuscany’s most intriguing wine styles: the Super Tuscans. Created with international grape varieties rather than traditional Sangiovese, these wines are known for their complexity, structure, and distinctive character.
Super Tuscan Wine Experience
Your day unfolds within the historic walls of Sveva’s castle, where time seems to move at a gentler pace. Surrounded by centuries-old stone halls and quiet countryside, you’ll take your seat for a guided tasting lunch dedicated to the world of Super Tuscan wines.
These wines, often made with international grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, represent a fascinating chapter in the history of Tuscan winemaking. During the lunch, each course is paired with a carefully selected wine, allowing you to explore how food and wine complement one another.
For those who wish to extend the afternoon, the experience can also include a visit to the nearby Abbey of San Galgano — a remarkable Gothic abbey linked to the medieval legend of the Sword in the Stone, where the original sword is still preserved today.
