Three of the 4 super tasters of the progetto Prime Donne at work on the future Brunello 2008 and 2010 by Donatella Cinelli Colombini
Valérie Lavigne - Barbara Magnani- May 2012-Fattoria del Colle
The “progetto prime donne” started in 1998 when Donatella Cinelli Colombini decided to dedicate to women the estate that she was just beginning to create.
From this decision derives the change in name for the winery which from Casato became Casato Prime Donne, but most of all the choice to have an all female team in the winery to take care of her wines. A panel of expert tasters was chosen to orient the production of a Brunello according to a more feminine taste. These are the three ladies who have just met up at Fattoria del Colle.
Towels and bath towels with a honeycomb weaving, hemstitched, resembling those our grandmothers had, but instead are the novelty at Toscana Lovers, the handicraft boutique
Siena - Toscana Lovers – honeycomb woven towels
Today the bath towels and towels in cotton with the bees nest weaving are synonymous of a super luxury hotel, in other words they are present on refined places where one is comforted with accessories which are able to give pleasure. And in fact, cotton woven with this design is the cloth which best dries you after a bath, softly enveloping your body. The waving is in three dimensions, a surface relief grating in the deep recesses of the holes. Suitable for towels and bathrobes because of its ability to absorb water.
“Toscana lovers” the boutique where one can finds the best Tuscan handicraft in the heart of Siena (Piazza Indipendenza just round the corner from Piazza del Campo where the Palio race is run) has decided to propose these towels in white with a hemstitch finish.

How many important elements are there to organise and decide upon to ensure the transformation of a marriage ceremony into an event that none of the participants will never forget.
An awful lot!!
It takes more than just a lot of money to create an unforgettable occasion, it takes imagination and good taste. Everyone knows how important the choice of wedding dresses, invitations, menus, venues, flowers and music are for the wedding ceremony. Putting these to one side, there are many other details which need impeccable organising to ensure a perfect wedding reception.
