The Experience
Over a hundred Bose speakers are planted among the vines and Mozart is played constantly – owner Carlo, plus the findings of research studies, say this helps the vines grow more robustly and also keeps away parasites. The proof is in the wine and you are treated to a private tasting at the enoteca beside your apartment – delicious Brunello. Inside you’ll find rustic furnishings, tiny kitchens for preparing breakfasts and private terraces looking over acres of vines.
Spend your days lounging with a book in the shade, or cooling off in the beautiful pool. You’re surrounded by wonderful countryside for walks, or hire bikes and explore the smaller roads and villages, many with other vineyards for tasting – it’s very important to compare!
There are superb markets at San Quirico d’Orcia, Buonconvento and Montalcino and thermal baths at Bago Vignoni, an ancient village with the baths in the main square. Return to your apartment for gorgeous sunsets and quiet nights.

Location
The neighbourhood
One of the most spectacular areas of southern Tuscany and sometimes called the craters of Siena due to their lunar like landscapes and soft rolling clay hills. The nearest town is Buonconvento, 6kms away and with a super little restaurant, La Porta di Sotto, serving truffles, wild boar prosciutto, handmade pasta with Chianina beef ragu and other rustic local specialities. Montalcino is 8kms.
Local points of interest from Gea Cignozzi
- On the doorsteps of Val d'Orcia, days can be filled with visits to magic hilltop towns. Discover the taste of pecorino cheese in Pienza and Montepulciano; be sure not to miss the thermal baths of Bagno Vignoni, dated to roman times.
- You can hike along the Francigena path, a pilgrim road heading to Rome that crosses several nearby villages, such as the lovely Buonconvento, where you can have a taste of the slow pace of village life.
- For a day out, you can also consider a trip to the sea and to the wild Maremma. With just over one hour's drive, you can have a relaxed day at the beach, a stroll around medieval towns and abbeys or hike in the National Park of Uccellina.
- Tuscany was the cradle of one of the most ancient Italian civilizations: the Etruscans. Just around the corner is the Etruscan wall town of Murlo, with its 40 inhabitants and a truly interesting archeological museum.
- In summer time, villages of the area offer a multitude of events : from concerts to 'sagre' (typical food festival) to biking and walking tours, you can have a really wholesome experience of the territory!

Introducing
Gea Cignozzi
Giancarlo, once a lawyer in Milan, now combines his passion for wine and music having bought this small wine estate in the heart of the Val d'Orcia area, where top Brunello di Montalcino wines are produced. University studies are finding evidence that his vision is right and the grapes are protected from parasites when Mozart plays. Bose sponsor all the outdoor speakers.
Wine lovers will be quite happy, classical music lovers even more so! Experience this unique concept at its best by strolling through the organic vineyards, Brunello in hand, as you listen to the soothing notes of master Mozart. Relax in the infinity pool mesmerized by the stunning Val d'orcia landscapes in front. An excellent base from which to explore the area by bike or by foot.
