Biodynamic vineyard tours, tastings, and farm-to-table lunches
"A biodynamic winery and agriturismo perched in the hills above Lucca where Gabriele Da Prato transformed a family estate in the late 1990s from bulk production to terroir-driven bottlings; initially known for syrah, the estate expanded into chenin blanc and pinot noir and now practices minimal-intervention aging while earning praise from Italian gastronomic guides." - Coral Sisk
"A small biodynamic hillside vineyard run by winemaker Gabriele da Prato that practices moon-phase agriculture and an intimate, hands-on approach to the land — he even sometimes serenades the vines with his jazz trombone. The estate produces a range of distinctive wines reflecting microclimates among the rows, including a crisp Bianco, a pino nero, two ruby-red Syrahs and an award-winning bottling called Melograno. Visits typically include a guided walk through the vines, an educational tasting and a simple, elegant lunch featuring house pasta, cured meats and cheeses sourced from a nearby family cheesemaker, making a tasting here a memorable highlight of a trip to the Garfagnana." - Gina DeCaprio Vercesi Gina DeCaprio Vercesi Gina DeCaprio Vercesi is a New York-based writer with a passion for adventure, history, and conservation.
