Oil, Cheese and Wine in Chianti
This excursion begins in the Chianti hills at Marta Buondonno’s Apicorno Farm and Gabriele Buondonno’s organic winery and cheese farm, specialized in the production of cheeses with traditional methods, using the milk from the farm’s goats. Here you will also taste their excellent wines. Then we’ll keep driving through the heart of Chianti, where you’ll visit Olio Maggi, a small farm, family run that produces different monocultivar extravirgin olive olis.
