Description
Chianti Classico is the company's production base. The vineyards are located in Castelnuovo Berardenga, in the South-Eastern part of the Chianti Classico production zone, North-East of Siena. The vineyards face almost exclusively South-West and are situated on windy slopes at an altitude ranging from 320 to 420 metres above sea level. From a geological point of view, the soils are rather heterogeneous: in the higher parts, quartzose sandstone and alberese mixed with alluvial pill predominate; stratiform sandstone and silt characterize the vineyards on the border with the Colli Senesi in the direction of the Crete Senesi. First year of production 1967.

Before the eye that ranges unencumbered in all directions, a metaphysical landscape takes shape. A wondrous unfolding of hills, none blocking its neighbour, all offering a spacious spectra of colour, from yellow to indigo, in luminous waves rolling to a horizon majestically profiled with an ancient volcano, Monte Amiata, beloved of the Etruscans, he enigmatic people who at the dawn of Italic civilisation introduced vines and olives to the peninsula.
This en-lightened land lived an extraordinary moment in Italy’s history, witnessing, if only for a few moments, the dream come true of an ideal city: Siena. Siena of the 13th and 14th centuries, where nature and art crowned the creative genius of those dwelling in such favoured spaces. Read more
