Bell Tower on the Logo of La Ciarliana Winery

Situated on the stunning hills of Montepulciano in Tuscany, La Ciarliana Winery spans 21 hectares of picturesque vineyards. The winery derives its name from a quaint church located in front of the property, and its logo features the bell tower of the nearby Pieve. The winemaking tradition began over 50 years ago with the grandfather of the current owner, Luigi Pellegrino. Following in the footsteps of his father, Santo Pellegrino, Luigi now oversees the winery's operations. The first vintage was bottled in 1996, and the modern cellar was established in 2002.

Non-Invasive Vineyard Practices

The Vigna Scianello vineyard, covering 4.5 hectares, is home to premium Sangiovese grapes. These grapes are used to produce high-quality red wines, including the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG status Vigna ‘Scianello, the estate's flagship wine. At La Ciarliana, the team employs non-invasive methods in the vineyards, prioritizing the region's natural biodiversity. During harvest, grapes are handpicked, ensuring that only the finest bunches are selected for destemming, soft crushing, and fermentation.

Charming Tasting Room Experience

The winery features an underground cellar with dedicated areas for winemaking, bottling, and aging. Guests can enjoy tastings in a beautifully decorated wine tasting room, complemented by a cozy lounge that offers breathtaking views of the estate's landscape. This inviting space is perfect for wine lovers seeking a memorable tasting experience amidst the beauty of Tuscany.

The owners of the winery are just lovely. The tour was interesting and focused, the view is breathtaking. We called to arrange a tour by phone. Besides the tour, you also get five tastings of wine and cheeses, sausages and extremely delicious bread. Everything was perfect.

Luigi is a charmer. We were recommended to him this summer and had a tasting at this family winery. Without a doubt...the rosé, Donna Claudia, was spectacular!

Beautiful experience! I recommend Sara for her professionalism, you can see it and she transmits all the passion for her work. Family business, even the owner introduced himself, he was super friendly and always ready to answer our questions. Complete tasting, we chose the experience with the pairing of dishes and it was nice to hear how the taste changes depending on what you eat, I absolutely recommend it. Thank you for making us feel at ease at all times! If you go to Montepulciano don't miss this experience!

The wine tasting was a fantastic experience! The atmosphere was cozy, perfect for discovering the wines. The selection was impressive - from elegant to strong red wines. We had a standard tasting, a tasting of vintage wines and we were able to mix our own wine from different grape varieties. The lady was incredibly nice and you can feel her passion. An all-round successful tasting that offers a great experience for wine lovers. We will definitely be back!

By far the best winery for wine tasting, as well as for various attractions such as tasting vintages, mixing your own wine, smelling different varieties, etc. The selection is endless. The host and the employees are authentic and do everything with heart and love! Prices are super moderate and fair. We are here for the second time and will keep coming back! There is plenty of parking, right outside the door. Thank you very much.
