Casina Di Cornia

Raisa made us feel so welcome, and her tips on supermarkets and good restaurants were really helpful. We also loved the wines, and bought several after the tasting. You can taste the care that goes into making them. Our clean, cozy apartment, Aia, stayed quite cool during the day, and we enjoyed relaxing on the private porch with its breathtaking vineyard view. The farm is quiet, with a large garden and grounds that guests can access, plus a great pool for cooling off on hot days. It felt like heaven on earth, a calm and relaxing place in the Siena area of Tuscany. We’d stay here again if we return.

The terrace view is one we won’t forget, and we took home 30 bottles of wine in the trunk! We spent six nights at Casina di Cornia and had a great time gathering a few grapes, walking among the olive trees, and chatting with Antoine and his family. Antoine’s wife makes beautifully designed pottery, and we ate from it. The wine production tour was great too. Florence, Siena, and Arezzo are each at most an hour away by car. We had breakfast every morning in a nearby town, and Colle was a favorite for its prices, restaurants, and views. Hope to come back soon, thank you!

The family running the vineyard were kind, knew their wines inside out, and made the tasting a great experience. It was our favorite stop on the wine tour, and well worth another visit. We even bought a couple of bottles to take home.

Anselmo made our family’s July 2017 visit to Casina di Cornia memorable. He welcomed us into his family’s winery, where the rustic tasting room suited the picturesque surroundings. We tried several amazing wines while hearing about the property, the grapes, and how the wine is made. He answered all our other questions too. We bought three bottles for dinner that evening and a rosé for brunch the next day, and every one was perfect. Grazie, Anselmo!
