His knowledge and enthusiasm was truly inspiring which made our visit most enlightening. It is only a small wineary but the quality produced was a credit to them. Needless to... More

We stopped at Guardastelle for a winery tour and a meal during a day trip in Tuscany. The entire estate was beautiful and it was some of the best wine I have had in my life. I would love to go back for an overnight stay. Fausto and Susanna were great hosts during our short visit. I would recommend a... More

Fausto and his lovely wife Susanna(I think this is her name) were great hosts. We were taken for a tour of the winery and educated on how the wine is made. We were served a wonderful lunch along with wine tasting. The wines are superior. We were with a guided tour and this was one of the highlights of our... More

My husband and I had scheduled a wine tasting and planned to go to Sovestro in Poggio while we were out near San Gimignano. Our expectations were very high, given the TripAdvisor ratings, and we were not disappointed. We arrived at 11:30 for a tour before having lunch at 12:30. There was supposed to have been a group tasting there... More

Several Couples made a side trip with a guide and found Fausto the perfect host as he presented his vineyards and wiery. We had a great lunch, sampled some of his best wines, and made arrangements for a shipment of wines back to South Carolina. More
