Villa Poggiarello -
Federica & Romeo Innocenti
Villa Poggiarello and the village of Roccastrada evoke the quintessential and exquisite spirit of beautiful Tuscany. The vineyards, the rolling hills, the near-bye seaside and the spectacular villa provide a stunning atmosphere rich with glorious views and warm feeling. The climate here is very temperate and there is a constant aroma of sagebrush and this permeates the air of this region known as La Maremma. Here, you can enjoy hands-on cooking classes of the much acclaimed Cucina Povera Toscana (the traditional Tuscan peasant cooking), taught by Romeo Innocenti. You will enjoy tasting the celebrated Rosso and Brunello di Montalcino as well as the Nobile di Montepulciano, and guided tours of medieval villages and towns around this area of Southern Tuscany.

Tuscany is an enchanting mystical land blending the appeal of stunning landscapes, charming people and glorious cuisine all blessed by the creative mix of art, man and nature. We can imagine the cypress lined vineyards: the rows upon endless rows of vines which sculpt the gently rolling hillsides. Tuscany is rich in an ancient way. Tuscany is full of life and boundless energy today. Tuscany is mysterious and elusive with those castles emerging out of the mists and Tuscany can be as distinctly clear as the Medici emblems are to Florentine majesty and Modern Florence’s ever-living stamp on the Western world. The Tuscan renaissance once rocked the world and the Tuscany of today thrives as one of the world’s top tourist destinations. Tuscany created the renaissance and thus gave birth to the modern world. Tuscan wine, the famed Tuscan Reds (Brunello, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Chianti, Morellino di Scansano and others) are now welcomed globally. So Tuscany keeps on exporting! And Tuscany keeps on importing. What? Tourists and non-Tuscans. People coming to Tuscany for business, coming to Tuscany for tourism, coming to Tuscany for inspiration, coming to Tuscany for Love or, better yet, coming to Tuscany to buy a villa or hill-top farmhouse. Tuscany is filled with farmhouses and, most of these classic Tuscan stone architectural icons are fully operating organic farms producing not only wine but the spectacular olive oil that Tuscany is known for. So, yes – Tuscany lives on and Tuscany continues to enchant us today because it offers both elegance and simplicity – something all of our modern stressed out lives crave and need more and more each day. Tuscany offers tranquility and peace. Tuscany is a place of dreams and rejuvenation. Tuscany means ‘plant a seed and it will grow’ and the Tuscan harvest is always bountiful, flavor-full and punctuated by countless food festivals known as sagras. Tuscany is a place where romance is born, courtship is an art and Americans by a dream house under the Tuscan sun. Tuscan Way brings you all this with firsthand cultural immersion. Tuscan Way’s tours show you the real Tuscany, the lesser known (off-the beaten track) Tuscany, and introduce you to the Tuscan locals who will show you their Tuscany with all the joy of their hearts.
