Obsequium

Top choice in Oltrarno


Tuscan wines, wine accessories and gourmet foods, including truffles, in one of the city's finest wine shops – on the ground floor of one of Florence's best-preserved medieval towers to boot. Not sure which wine to buy? Linger over a glass or indulge in a three-wine tasting (€12 to €100) and an accompanying taglieri (board) of mixed cheese and salami (€13).

The boutique also offers Tuscan olive oil and balsamic vinegar tastings (both €7). Reserve tastings in advance online.
