    This year at the Giornate degli Autori, enjoyed the best Tuscan wine thanks to the collaboration with the Toscana Resort Castelfalfi, on the tables of the Villa degli Autori.

    “Thanks to this happy match –says Giorgio Gosetti, general director of the Giornate – we are strengthening our brand identity of being Italian and International at the same time; the fruits of the land, from wine to olive oil, are all symbols of that cultural conviviality that sits at the base of our initiative”.
