Description
Experience an authentic wine tasting in the heart of San Gimignano, designed for small groups and offering an intimate, relaxed atmosphere far from the usual tourist traps. This is a tasting for true wine lovers looking to understand what makes a winery genuinely distinctive.
This historic, family-run winery is renowned for producing high-quality wines with a strong and unmistakable identity. One of its defining choices is the preservation and careful restoration of historic vineyards dating back to the 1960s, rather than replacing them with modern plantings—a demanding and increasingly rare approach that prioritizes character over quantity.
The white wines, grown exclusively on tuffaceous soils, are fresh, elegant, and aromatic, while the red wines, cultivated on rock-rich, well-drained terrain, offer depth, structure, and excellent aging potential, fully respecting local tradition.
A key element of the winery’s philosophy is its extended aging in barriques, carried out for significantly longer than is common today. This represents a major investment in time and resources, but it allows each wine to fully develop its personality, resulting in bold, expressive wines with a very strong sense of place.
The experience includes a guided wine tasting led by a professional sommelier, featuring four organic wines from the estate, as well as a guided tour of the wine cellar and vineyards.
The tasting is paired with bruschettas, local cured meats, and cheeses, creating a refined and immersive journey through the flavors and traditions of the region.
A complete and memorable experience that blends wine, craftsmanship, and territory, ideal for travelers seeking authenticity, quality, and a deeper connection to Tuscan winemaking.

Vinos exquisitos y una experiencia inolvidable. Muchas gracias.

Absolutely loved it! We had a fantastic wine tasting with Luca. We had different kinds of white and red wine together with a selection of cheese and ham. Luca was a great host. You can feel his passion for wine and we definitely learnt a lot. We also bought a few bottles of our favourites and their own olive oil. I can only recommend to visit La Casa Rossa.

Sabato abbiamo avuto il piacere di visitare questa azienda familiare a pochissimi chilometri da San Gimignano accompagnati da Luigi che ci ha guidato in una piacevolissima chiacchierata in cantina culminata con la degustazione di 5 vini che ci ha permesso di conoscere ed apprezzare la Vernaccia , a noi poco nota, ed assaggiare il loro Chianti del 2017 davvero notevole (di cui abbiamo casualmente e meritatamente sentito tessere le lodi anche in un ristorante la sera successiva). Una bellissima realtà locale da sostenere e consigliare.
