We tried all the spumante amd bought a couple of bottles with us. The guide was good and made us feel welcome. The tour and tasting was free. The Restaurant: We went here after the cellar and it was a 2course meal, where you had some options. Our three kids had different types of pasta and we also tried the risotto and som crudo with melon. To this we had white and red wine. To finish Everything off we had three cappuccinos (3adults, 3kids) total of 72€
