Occupying the cellars of Villa Spalletti di Poggio Reale, the museum traces the history of viticulture and winemaking in the Val di Sieve, with particular emphasis on the techniques used. Tools and equipment, photographs, videos and original documents help to illustrate the profound relationship between wine and the area.
There is also a collection of blown-glass, straw-covered fiaschi produced from the 18th century onwards and a series of exhibits offering stimulus for the senses.
Next door to the museum is an enoteca where visitors can sample wines.
