Vineria Aperta

Vineria Aperta stands out as one of the most engaging wine destinations in Tuscany. Located just a 20-minute drive from the village of Montalcino, this hidden gem offers a welcome escape from the typical tourist-oriented wine bars. Situated adjacent to the stunning medieval monastery of Sant'Antimo, in a beautiful setting, Vineria Aperta is an enchanting discovery, much like stumbling upon an oasis in a desert.

The wine selection here is exceptional – 1,500 labels – featuring not only renowned Brunello di Montalcino producers, both established and emerging, but also an impressive array of wines from across Italy and the wider world. Their collection spans regions as diverse as Georgia, Greece, Japan, Germany, Spain, and, of course, France. In addition, Vineria Aperta offers older vintages and some of Tuscany’s most prestigious names, such as Stella di Campalto, Biondi Santi and Pergole Torte but also young and emerging wines; the wine list is just as diversified as the wine world itself.

Complementing the extensive wine list, Vineria Aperta serves delicious dishes crafted from ingredients sourced from local food artisans. This unexpected haven in the Tuscan countryside is so captivating that leaving may prove to be a challenge.
