"Top activity I’ve done in Italy"

Matteo assisted by his beautiful mother were amazing! Firstly the property is beautiful, in a world full of historical buildings Antica Corte takes that leap forward into the modern world. A place truly set for an intimate wedding or a perfect family getaway! The class itself was perfect, we learnt a lot from Matteo and loved hearing the stories from his childhood making these dishes. Better yet, we got to taste his Nonna’s 6 hour Ragu, paired perfectly with our attempt at a Tagiatelle. Pici was also amazing, the traditional dish of the area. I had eaten this the day before in Montepulciano because I could wait until the class. I must say the knowledge of the dish that Matteo had really brought the dish to life!! 11/10 would recommend to anybody in the area! I’ll be back next time for sure!
