Experience description
Camigliano is a medieval village not far from Montalcino, once inhabited by the Etruscans. In 1957, Walter Ghezzi, an entrepreneur from Milan who was passionate about Tuscany, purchased the estate. Today, the company is led by his son Gualtiero with the help of his wife Laura and their daughters Silvia and Isabella, paying a great attention to organic production.
The “Brunch Tour” is ideal for wine lovers eager to learn more about the history of Camigliano. Visit the technologically advanced underground winery; admire the wide panorama from the large terrace from which you can see all the vineyards; take a panoramic tour of the badlands and finally taste the wines, in the tasting cellar located in the basement of the castle.

Curiosities
- The camel is the symbol of Camigliano, originally found in a seal dating back to the 13th century. This was perhaps due to the influence of the papacy in the area, and it is probably linked to the Crusades who reached the holy land.
Nearby places to visit
- Montalcino: the village of Brunello, one of the most evocative medieval cities in the Val d’Orcia. The town is made up of narrow and steep streets, full of museums, cathedrals and abbeys, with a unique view once you reach the top. In 2004, Montalcino was recognized as a World Heritage Site.
- Abbazia di Sant’Antimo: Located near Montalcino, this is one of the most beautiful Romanesque churches in Tuscany and among the most beautiful ones in Italy. It is said that the origin of the abbey dates back to era of Charlemagne. Sant’Antimo is a magical place where you can still listen to the suggestive Gregorian chants.
