Upon arriving in Florence, picking up a car, 4 of us ventured off in the pouring rain towards Fatoria Viticcio. The GPS took us through a beautiful stretch of the iconic Cypress trees as we navigated a washed out dirt road which reminded one of road rally. Once we reached the Winery however, everything came together. Lorena could not have been more fun, helpful, accommodating and above all, knowledgeable, as a trained Sommelier, of the wines and the wine making process. She treated us like VIP's as we were the only one's at the winey at the time. She was an absolute pleasure, expertly taking us through the many wines of Viticcio which we found to be exceptional, especially the Gran Selezione and the wonderful 2015 and 2016 Reservas which we could compare side by side. The Vermentino was a very pleasant surprise, as well being a superb representation of the grape. She also helped us find a local pharmacy and gave us some great tips on area restaurants. We will definitely be coming back to Viticcio to spend time at the winery and we'd highly recommend Fatoria Viticcio and Lorena as a must see, and taste, stop in Chianti.
