La Foresteria Serego Alighieri

The wine experience was at mildest disappointing and it felt like it was the first time the experience was being held. The surroundings were beautiful and seeing the ventilationloft was fine, wich gives it the 1 star. There was not much information about how the grapes are taken care of to get the perfect quality or anything like that. The whole experience started out with a man who apparently booked a private tour for him and his family. This had to be sorted out, and delayed the tour. Next up was the walk through the estate, by the winefield and the loft and a small part of the cellar. Then the truely disappointing part.. first, there was a "mix up" in who ordered the pairing with cheese, wich was everyone on the tour, but the cheese was only prepaired for one family. Next up, the presentation of the wine. All four wines were just presented at once, then we were told where to find the restroom, and were then left to taste the wine and cheeses on our own. No introduction to wich notes to taste or how to do winetasting in general. Thankfully we have been to lots of winetastings through the years and are very passionate about wine, and therefore knew how to get the most out of the tasting, but this part missing definately took alot off of the experience. Meanwhile the group was left to taste all four wines at once, the presenter of the tour and wine left to be with the man I mentioned before. They were presented with several wines and lots of information about the wines and tasted them one by one. This made it seem like he was very eager to get the winetour with the group overwith so he could spend his time and energy on the man and his family. It made the whole experience very vague, and we definately expected more from a house of wine like Masi.

If you ever go on a wine trip and pass through, in my opinion the best region, Valpolicella this place is heaven. The atmosphere, with the really old buildnings and the beautiful surroundings are just amazing. Everything breathes wine here. The room we had was really nice. So cozy and perfectly decorated to match the exterior. And super spacious. Have no complaints what so ever. The staff were so nice and helpful. The breakfast perhaps not so rich, but the things they had was really tasty, fresh and nice. We also took the guided tour for Serego Alighieri and I can warmly recommend it. A really nice guide and it was so amazing to see how and where the magic happens with their excellent amarone Vaio Armaron! We really enjoyed our stay and would love to come back in some years.

Für zwei Nächte wohnten wir im Taubenturm der Foresteria. 3 kleine Räume sind mit einer Wendeltreppe verbunden. Den besten Blick hat man vom Schlafzimmer, dem obersten Raum. Die Foresteria liegt in einem sehr schönen Weingut. Gute Restaurants befinden sich in der Nähe. Das Frühstück ist nicht überwältigend, es gibt keine Eierspeisen und keine frischen Säfte. Eine Führung durch das Weingut mit Weinprobe sollte man unbedingt mitmachen.

I cipressi in duplice filar nulla invidiano al Pascoli. Ed è solo il benvenuto. Qui tutto nel borgo racconta dell'avo Dante, esule da Firenze e ospite degli Scaligeri. Non c'è Inferno né Purgatorio ma solo un Paradiso di verde tranquillità tra le mura della Foresteria. Camere dilatate ad appartamento con angolo cucina bollitore e doppio bagno. Kit di prima sopravvivenza con ottimi biscottini e vino in fresca griffati Masi. Colazione gustosa e gioiosamente servita en plein air nel parco. Per gli amanti delle anticaglie: non perdetevi lo splendido romanico della vicina Pieve di San Giorgio. E per tutti: vigneti a perdita d'occhio come giardini pensili ed il Garda veronese che vi fa l'occhiolino all'orizzonte.
