An exclusive wine cellar in the heart of Florence
As we journey through history, the restaurant La Carabaccia reveals her most fascinating secret: a a beautiful underground wine cellar with exposed brick cross vaults, where medieval charm meets the excellence and comfort of great Tuscan hospitality.
Featuring warm, historic brickwork, walls of Arno stone, and Florentine terracotta flooring, this intimate space preserves the original niches carved into the walls, which today house an extraordinary collection of a collection of domestic and international display bottles, featuring rare labels dating from the 1940s onward.
The atmosphere is a journey through time, enriched by details from the countryside of yesteryear. Your gaze falls upon antique objects from rural tradition: single and double yokes, historic barrels, a large wooden vat, a classic tub, a small glass demijohn covered in straw and wicker, and the characteristic jar for balsamic vinegar. Each corner light fixture is framed by antique-style terracotta tiles decorated with noble coats of arms, which cast a warm and evocative glow.
At the center of the scene, the welcoming ambiance is defined by fine Tuscan craftsmanship: two long, handcrafted tables made of solid wood are enhanced by the beautiful handmade ceramics, an artistic expression of the historic tradition of Montelupo Fiorentino. To ensure maximum relaxation, the solid wood seats have been expertly Handcrafted, designed with a higher backrest and a wider seat compared to traditional chairs.
The winery masterfully combines a thousand-year history with the best modern technologies: the hall is, in fact, equipped with a exposed copper system for continuous air recirculation, background music, and high-speed Wi-Fi.
With a capacity designed to accommodate up to 22 guests, this underground treasure trove is the perfect place for:
- Private dinners and exclusive events (corporate or family)
- Social gatherings and ceremonies set in an atmosphere of days gone by
