Chianti Colli Fiorentini Winery Tour 18km from Florence – Florence, Italy

EXPERIENCE:

Discover real country life in a very different reality totally surrounded by vineyards and olive groves. During the visit to the wine cellar your guide will tell you the story of the family who has started the farm in 1960.

Then you will taste 3 different wines and the extra virgin oil. You can buy the products directly or arrange a door to door shipment. You can have a walk through the vineyards discovering holiday farmhouses which have been restored according to the Tuscan style.

The estate has always been characterised by high-quality agricultural products combined with a deep respect for the environment and for protecting the health of its customers.

Certification

Since 1982, San Vito has been cultivating its crops in accord with organic principles, and produces its wines and olive oils without any use of weed-killers, pesticides, or synthetic chemical treatments. From 1985 on, all of San Vito’s products have been certified by the A.I.A.B. (Associazione Italiana Agricoltura Biologica), and the winery is a member of I.F.O.A.M. (International Federation of Organic Agricoltural Movement). The current certifying authority is I.C.E.A. (Istituto per la Certificazione Etica ed Ambientale), which ensures observance of the E.U. 2092/91 regulation and international norms, in particular the NOP (National Organic Program) of the U.S. USDA.

Method of cultivation

San Vito’s observance of organic farming means that it uses only substances derived from organic minerals, both for fertilisers and anti-pest treatments. This allows the soil to maintain its productive capacity without leaving any chemical residues in the soil or in the wines.
