Why here

Three things you can check for yourself

You pick the porcini yourself

They sit at the entrance, fresh, nearly all year. In Chianti in June that is rare: look at them before you order.

Truffle all year round

Fresh, shaved at your table. Not only in the months when everyone expects it.

300 wines, chosen one by one

Alessandro built the wine list. He has been here since 2006 and he works the dining room. If you don't know what to pick, he'll tell you.

The place

A hamlet above the vineyards, outside Castellina

You get here on a road that climbs between the rows. From up there, in the evening, you can see the whole of Chianti.
