Muvit Wine Museum

Muvit-Museum of Wine is the most complete and articulated collection on the theme of culture and techniques of viticulture and winemaking, narrated through objects, documents, works of art and crafts. Founded in 1974 by the Lungarotti winery (one of the largest and most qualified local wineries), it develops in 20 rooms of the Graziani-Baglioni palace, organized by themes. The archaeological collection boasts valuable pieces such as jugs from the Cycladic age and Hittite ceramics (III-I millennium B.C.), Attic kylikes, Etruscan buccheri and bronzes, and glass from the Roman age. There are more than 400 artefacts in the collection of ceramics of various ages and origins (among others, works by the Della Robbia family and other renowned workshops in the 16th-20th centuries). Notable are the pharmaceutical vases and the collection of vintage engravings with viticultural, mythological and biblical subjects. The change in techniques and customs is documented by the rich collection of wafer irons, which can be compared to wine for preparation and consumption, including numerous pieces from the 13th to the 17th century. Didactic is the path through the agricultural tools, among which are three large presses dating back to the seventeenth century. A valuable wine library completes the collection.
