The story
Set before the imposing medieval Castello Banfi in Montalcino, La Sala dei Grappoli takes its name from the grapevines that fresco its elegant dining rooms. The atmosphere is one of refined sophistication, framed by the historic castle walls and, when the season permits, an unforgettable terrace dining experience overlooking the vineyards.
The restaurant’s cuisine is the work of Chef Domenico Francone, whose passion for cooking was born from a deep love for raw ingredients. Raised in a family with strong culinary traditions in Puglia, Chef Francone brings a precise, modern approach to his kitchen. The result is a menu of modern cuisine that is both intriguing and deeply rooted in the quality of its produce, perfectly paired with the great wines of Banfi.
This commitment to high-quality cooking earned La Sala dei Grappoli a Michelin star, a recognition that speaks to the harmony between the chef’s creative vision and the exceptional setting. Whether dining inside beneath the painted vines or outside on the panoramic terrace, guests experience a meal that is as memorable for its flavors as for its breathtaking view of the Tuscan landscape.
