Tuscany wine tasting tour - Lucca olive oil tasting - wine cellar guided tour
At Fubbiano we are glad to welcome you to taste our wine and olive oil all year round by reservation.
You can visit us just to buy our products at our farm shop or to enjoy a complete wine and oil tour: from the ancient villa of the XVII century, passing by a vineyard, learning about the oil and wine making process, visiting the cellar and ending with a pleasant wine and oil tasting.
We will be happy to introduce you to our farm life, showing you the care and passion we put in our daily work to achieve the best results with our wine and extra virgin olive oil.
What is wine? What is inside a bottle? How much work is hidden behind a label?
Each wine has got its own indipendent attitude and behaves in total unexpected ways from the fermentation to the bottling, from the aging cellar to the glass.
Its story begins in the vineyard, where several elements contribute to its creation: land, whose chemical composition will give sapidity and character to a wine; climate, decisive factor for ripeness and harvest; grapevine, one of the strongest and most tenacious plants we know… During winter vineyards seem to be dead but then, when harvest starts, grapes are welcome as a festivity!
Any detail is neglected in the wineries, because in that moment a whole year of work and projects could be ruined by a single little mistake. So, wine makers, cellar men and wine workers, watch over tubs, where grapes ferment, taking great care of temperature and any little change happening to must. They work like obstetricians, tring to extract the best from grapes, and do all what they can to support and assist a new born wine to grow and become a great drink!
But also when it is bottled, after the right time of fermentation and stabilization, a wine can act in a total unforseen way and wine makers can have unexpected good or bad surprises! There’s not a specific formula to obtain a good wine. Each wine maker has got and keeps his one, but none is definitive and certain, because wine expresses the nature strenght, out of men’s control.
This is why, when we are in front of a glass of wine, we must have a great respect of that colored drink, because it has got a story to tell and it is our duty to stop and listen to it, drop after drop
