Tosco's word
The Toscane Cachée rating of 9.0 versus 8.1 and the top 1% ranking for cuisine and setting give the edge to Il Cerchio delle Streghe Country House, but its 45 € bill and its bistecca charged by the hectogram reserve it for meat lovers of Chianina and Cinta Senese who are ready to pay for a great outdoor setting facing the Val d'Orcia. Terre di Giorgio, at 37 €, with its pici all'aglione, pappa al pomodoro and the estate's organic saffron, suits those who want more varied Italian cuisine and a mid-range budget, even though its value-for-money score of 7.4 is tight against the Cerchio's 7.7. If you want the spectacle and the high end, choose the first; for an authentic Tuscan table without ruining yourself, the second.
