Cantina Baldetti

The Wine tasting was really awesome. We were a group of 5. Especially our tour guide Desiree was very nice and dedicated. She knew a lot about the winery and we very much enjoyed our stay! The wine is very delicious. We were very fond of the red wine which was called Marius! We can absolutely recommend it for a day trip!

Visita con degustazione super consigliata. La visita in cantina è molto interessante. Desiree è stata gentilissima e molto professionale nel guidarci lungo il percorso tra vigne, cantina e soprattutto i prodotti. Location meravigliosa. Per quanto riguarda i vini, si sente tutta la loro cura per produrli. La bollicina.. sorprendente!

The wine tasting and facility tour was a beautiful experience! The staff are very kind and treated me to delicious wine with local cheese and cured meats. I’d highly recommend visiting if you are in the area!

Visita delle cantine e degustazione di vini assolutamente imperdibili. Azienda che sa unire tradizione e innovazione e ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Se passate da Cortona fermatevi per una degustazione: non andrete via a mani vuote! Menzione speciale per il fantastico Chegrè"

One of the best decisions we made for our trip. This was an amazing experience lead by the wonderful Desiree. This was the best winery tour any of us had been on. Desiree was wonderful in giving information about the winery, the process, and even how Mario Baldetti set the foundation for the wonderful tradition and love for the work to produce the highest quality of wine. We enjoyed every moment of our tour of the Winery.

We recently attended the Syrah Tour at Cantina Baldetti and what a delightful experience! Our guide, Desiree was patient and courteous throughout. She answered our many questions with a great command of English, and the pace of the tour was spot on....perfetto! Oh, and on top of all that, the wine itself - Crano Syrah - was excellent and as a result, 6 bottles of the 2015 are shipping to the UK soon!

On a recent trip to the Cortona area of Tuscany, Italy in September, six girlfriends and I visited the Baldetti Winery (Azienda Agricola Baldetti Alfonso; Loc. Pietraia 71/a - 52044 Cortona) for wine tasting and a cooking class. I made the reservation about a month in advance. From the minute of arrival, the Baldetti family and the staff at the winery could not have been nicer. Gianluca Baldetti greeted us, then turned us over to Marketing Director, Giulia, who translated the entire day. Paola Baldetti, wife of the winery owner, taught the cooking class. We had coordinated in advance for one of the participants who is Vegan, and the entire day flowed very smoothly. Generous pours of all the wines they make at the winery were served throughout the class and at lunch. The meal was a traditional Sunday afternoon Italian dinner, even though the class was on a Thursday. Dishes included homemade pasta with beef ragout; for the Vegan, the pasta was without egg with a tomato/garlic sauce. The main dish was roasted pork loin stuffed with sausage, pistachios and apples along with potatoes roasted with olive oil and rosemary; for the Vegan, Panzanella, a Tuscan salad made with bread, olive oil, and local fresh vegetables plus tofu. Dessert was Harvest Cake, a buttery, crumbly cake baked with Paola’s homemade cherry marmalade in between the layers, traditionally served during the grape harvest. For the Vegan, dessert was fresh fruit salad. The cost was very reasonable at 75 Euros each which included several glasses of champagne and various rose and red wines, along with the cooking class and the food. Do the wine tasting and if you have the time, the cooking class. It was scheduled from 10 am to 2 pm but we left around 3 pm after eating, a winery tour, then buying wine and olive oil to take home or ship. The winery even sent us home with the leftovers which we ate the next day on our final day in Italy. Wine was shipped quickly and arrived in about a week or two after the trip ended. If you love good food, wine, and cooking, this is a must.

Really nice wines, top to bottom. We especially enjoyed the rose and the Sangiovese. They have an awesome patio with exceptional views. I recommend you stay for the tasting and light lunch - delicious salad and prosciutto with pecorino and bread. We left with a case and some sparkling.Probably call ahead if you can, they have great customer service and will cater to you. Best wine experience so far in Tuscany

Bellissima esperienza!Abbiamo prenotato come gruppo di 10 persone una degustazione di 4 vini.Desiree con professionalità e simpatia ci ha illustrato la storia della cantina, il processo di produzione dei vini e ci ha guidato nella loro degustazione.Siamo rimaste soddisfatte e ci siamo divertite moltoDa consigliare!

We had an amazing time at Baldetti. We were given a private tour and we received a thorough presentation of the entire harvesting and wine making process. It was by far more thorough than other tours we took while in Tuscany. We purchased a case of wine and it was reasonably priced. I highly recommended visiting this winery.
