Let’s discover the estate and the organic-integral philosophy
A stone’s throw from the village of Suvereto there are numerous wine cellars. Each of these tells a story of passion and dedication, work and experimentation which over time has led to excellent wine productions. A trip to Val di Cornia cannot be considered complete if it does not include a visit to one of the numerous wineries that offer wind tasting courses and numerous other activities.
Today I want to present to you a reality that amazed me for the care – also architectural – of the spaces and the landscape, as well as for the philosophy behind its activity.
Artisanal Winemaking
One of Tenuta Casadei’s distinctive features is its commitment to artisanal winemaking. Winemaking here is an art, and every step of the process, from harvesting the grapes to maturation in wooden barrels, is performed with skill and dedication. Guests are invited to participate in guided tours of the cellars and wine tastings, where they can discover the excellence of the Tuscan wines produced on the estate. The cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, petit verdot, merlot, grenache, mourvèdre, syrah and muscat grapes are harvested by hand as they used to do in the past.
The BioIntegral Philosophy
Tenuta Casadei embraces the BioIntegrale philosophy, which is based on principles of sustainability, respect for nature and terroir and the desire to create high-quality products that reflect the authenticity of the place. This approach translates into organic agricultural and wine production, in the conservation of the surrounding ecosystem, in respect of the eco system, all in a long-term vision that harmonizes production needs with the need to minimize the intervention of the man. The BioIntegrale method is a real philosophy of thought and production that I invite you to discover directly from the Estate’s website.

Activities Offered: from tasting to picnics in the vineyard
Tenuta Casadei offers a wide range of activities, designed to immerse guests in the culture and beauty of Tuscany. You can find the PDF with all the activities and their prices at the bottom of the post. The experiences range from the classic tasting tour to discover the BioIntegrale philosophy, to more particular activities, designed to experience the estate in a different and original way.
The picnic in the vineyard is undoubtedly my favorite activity. The estate delivers a map of the vineyard to participants along with a basket with everything needed for a picnic (plus a bottle of wine of course!). Guests are free to walk among the rows, in the garden, around the lake and stop to eat wherever they like in absolute freedom. It’s a perfect way to connect with nature and enjoy the tranquility of the Tuscan countryside.
For those who have children or are looking for a more ‘comfortable’ and romantic solution, the carriage tour among the rows is undoubtedly another very special activity. My children were enchanted by the horses on the estate and never wanted to leave them!
