Experience description
Tenuta Lenzini is located amongst the splendid hills of Lucca, set in a natural amphitheatre dating back to the 16th century. Today, the company is managed by Michele and Benedetta, who love their vineyards and their daily work. In fact, every day they strive to create expressive wines and wines in which man's impact becomes non-existent, mainly focusing on biodynamic wine production.
Michele will guide you through the vineyards and unlock the secrets of biodynamic production. Later on, you will visit the wine cellar and the cellar of barrique barrels. The experience continues in the tasting room where you will enjoy your light lunch, including a range of local cured meats and cheeses as well as a typical first course from Lucca, prepared with fresh seasonal products. The light lunch will be accompanied by 3 red wines and a Merlot “passito” wine.
