Theater for tourists

Today, as in the eleventh century, the village is intimately involved in the wine and olive oil production. This is unavoidable as the fermentation room and wine cellars, the vinsantaia and bottling, and the mill orciaia are all housed in the buildings of the hamlet within the basements, the churches and the halls, all joined together by a spectacular underground wine duct. Volpaia, is thus not a mere “theater for tourists”, but the center of a complex rural activities which are directly or indirectly linked to all the inhabitants of the village.

The winery produces only certified organic wine and olive oil whiich have all been acclaimed by the international media and wine experts.
