- skipthelipEugene, Oregon4 contributionsUnforgettable wine tastingBeautiful and old winery with amazing Brunello di Montalcino wines. Our host, Shanel, was wonderful. We loved the wine and the olive so much we bought wine and they shipped it for us to our home. I highly recommend this winery if you are if the Montalcino areaVisited October 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten October 8, 2023
- NJ_Traveler2008Flemington, New Jersey65 contributionsGreat Tasting Experience!This is one of the few wineries where you can stop in without a reservation and try a few wines. It is not a full fledged tasting with all their wines, but we tried several and had a great personalized experience. The young woman who hosted us was friendly, personable, and helpful. She explained some of the history of the winery along with describing the growing and making of their wines. We ordered three bottles to be sent to us at home and just received them a few days ago in great shape! We are looking forward to enjoying them in the future!Visited September 2023Written October 16, 2023
- Charlie HTroy, New York6 contributionsSpectacular experienceWe contacted them at the last minute to set up a tour and tasting, and they were more than happy to welcome us to their lovely winery. Our tour started by being greeted by Camilla. Camilla was an outstanding ambassador for this beautiful winery. She was extremely knowledgeable about the facility, the history of the family and the process, as well as the wines we were tasting. The wines were superb. I would highly recommend this winery for a tour and tasting.Visited October 2023Traveled with friendsWritten October 25, 2023
- Justin B2 contributionsBeautiful winery; great expression of Montalcino!My wife and I visited this winery while we were on our honeymoon in Tuscany. The views of val d’Orcia are breathtaking and the wine was great. We particularly enjoyed their baby brunellos (rossos) and of course the brunellos are great too! Very cool history regarding the owner and how his family came to inherit the winery. We hope to be back someday!Visited October 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten November 11, 2023
- Igor S2 contributionsPerfect experience, awesome wine, very nice staffThe experience was exceptional, the winery is very well organized and clean, it was very interesting to see the production from the grapes until the bottles. The wines were just amazing, different from anything you can find around the country. Definitely recommend this place.Visited December 2023Traveled with familyWritten December 29, 2023
- Andrew Albert2 contributionsgreat wines, great peopleThis is a must visit producer. The wines are elegant and aromatically complex. The pianarosa is especially good and 2019 is a great vintage for collectors. Shanel was the best host we have had in italy . She is extremely knowledgeable and did a fantastic job explaining the winemaking process and the history of the winery.Visited February 2024Traveled on businessWritten February 29, 2024
- Elisa HDavie, Florida84 contributionsFascinating history, delicious wine and excellent experience.We emailed them a couple of days before our visit and they scheduled us with no problem at all. When we arrived, our tour guide Channel was lovely. She is so passionate about the brand and she gave us a wonderful tour. The history of this vineyard is fascinating and the grounds are breathtaking, especially the views from the welcome center. The tasting was excellent as is their wine. We really enjoyed the entire experience.Visited May 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten May 1, 2024
- EricNew York City, New York3 contributionsAmazing Tuscan Winery ExperienceWe first visited Ciacci in 2007, and have been buying their wines in America ever since. We returned in May 2024 and it is even better now!! Our guide Ivan toured us around the beautiful grounds, taught us the history of the winery, showed us the cellar and production facility. All meticulously kept! Then we got down to tasting! The Rosso is classic Rosso, then we got 3 different Brunello's. I have many vintages at home, and the newer ones did not disappoint. Great representation of the wine, had the '17 and '18. If you can afford it, the 2001 Brunello Riserva was AMAZING and worth every Euro!!!!!!! Almost forgot the Olive oil, which is amazing, and my wife's favorite part of the visit. Then they made it so easy to order wine and olive oil to send back to the U.S. Can't wait until my shipment makes it back to me! If you can't make it here, find their wines and enjoy at home. But if you are in Tuscany, this should be on your must-stop list. Happy to support such a unique place that has great people and even better wines!!!

- Lolagirl248 contributionsAmazing views and even better wine!Many wineries in the Tuscan region, but this is the absolute best. The wines are incredible and the views are to die for. It is a smaller winery, but the awards that they have one are many. I reached out the day before and was able to get in for a tasting. Camilla and Simona were amazing and were responsive to emails-they responded almost within the hour.Visited May 2024Traveled on businessWritten May 24, 2024

I have liked this winery’s Brunello for some time so I was excited when I was able to schedule a tour and tasting when visiting Montalcino. The tour was exceptionally cordial and the explanation of the winery’s history was so interesting.I highly recommend this wine and this winery.

The tasting room is beautiful. The white oak barrel top bar is worth the trip. The wines, even the the lowest priced wine sold in all the local restaurants, are a great bargain. The staff is very helpful. They ship to the US, even Oklahoma..

We had a fantastic wine tasting with our family (parents had a wine tasting and kids' oil tasting). The people working at the winery are very friendly, and everything was very well organised. The wines are superb and when they tell you the story around them, and you see the number of prices they have got over the years you appreciate even more. The views from the winery are amazing, save some time for photos outside!

What a pleasure it was to experience the wines of Montalcino through our leisurely visit to this winery. We were offered a very nice selection of wines to try and were walked through how these wines came about and some history of the estate. Of course we left having purchased a number of the wines. Luckily for me I preferred the cheaper end of the selection but my friend was not so lucky!

The day we wanted to visit the winery, they were full booked. However Alessandra, the kind lady I had the conversation with, spared no effort to make sure we could have a tasting. Because we could’nt have a tour at the winery and I had told her the BDM Pianrosso is one of my favourite wines, she suggested a customized tasting. Normally they don’t serve Pianrosso in the standard tastings but now they suggested a vertical tasting of the BDM 2013, 2014 and 2015 and a tasting of the Pianrosso 2016. We started off with the Rosso di Montalcino 2019. Besides we tasted also their olive oils.
We got a warm welcome and a brief story about their history. With every wine we were told a lot about that specific vintage, the weather conditions, how the wine was managed to obtain the best quality.
In short: We had a pleasant visit!

My husband, son and I did a last minute casual wine tasting. We were hosted by Domi who was very thorough in explaining the history of the winery and each of the various wine types. We learned much more than we originally were anticipating, which was an added bonus. The wines themself were very tasty. We ended up purchasing at least a bottle of each a couple of the Syrah which was well bodied and flavorful. I’d definitely recommend swinging by this winery on a visit.
