We start today with a tasting this morning of this year's 85 winning wines that were selected in Siena by a jury between 19th and 22nd November. For the first time this included a journalist from FIJEV. We will have a further opportunity to taste the winners this afternoon before heading off into Chiantishire. First up will be a visit to John Matta's Castello Vicchiomaggio before heading to our hotel in Castellina in Chianti followed by a visit and dinner at Rocca delle Macie.
