Itinerary Super ChiantiSuper Chianti is an extraordinary day trip that transports you from Florence to the charming and delightful Chianti & Chianti Classico regions. We convene at the Grape Tours office, where you'll check in and prepare for the adventure. A mere half-hour ride brings us to the beautiful Chianti region, starting the day at an ancient Tuscan farmhouse winery. Delve into the grape-to-bottle process, and after covering every winemaking facet, we sit down to savor four exquisite wines complemented by fresh olive oil and artisanal sheep's milk cheeses from the winery's dairy farm. Our next destination is Panzano in Chianti, home to the renowned butcher Dario Cecchini. Relish a delectable lunch featuring four meat dishes inspired by Dario's family recipes, including a taste of the famous Bistecca. Post-lunch, we proceed to the next winery for a private tour, immersing ourselves in the traditions of the world's oldest wine region.

WHAT ARE SUPER TUSCANS? Super Tuscans were born in the 70'ies & 80'ies back when DOC regulations were too restrictive for some producers to make high-quality wines, either limiting the kind of grapes grown or the blending rules.
Super Tuscans today are difficult to define but refer to a concept of high quality that goes beyond regulations, a wine-makers' wine, rather than a regional wine as it knows no recipe nor border (yet, Tuscan it should be).
WHO IS DARIO CECCHINI? Dario is a humble yet famous, ethical, and poetic butcher of Panzano who fights for animals' rights to a decent life and a respectful end. Starting from his family's butcher shop, he has built an emporium to celebrate life through good meat.
There are several menus available, this one focuses on Tuscany's fame of steak.
