Cafaggio was once founded in Panzano by the Benedictan friars of Siena in the medieval era of 1408, cultivating grapevines and olives. The Farkas family during the 70’s completely renovated the grounds of the country home, equipping the already endowed earth with the most advanced production facilities. Cafaggio covers approximately 60 hectares, of which 30 are cultivated as specialised vineyards and about 10 as olive groves. The remaining area is woodland. Situated in an area recognised as the finest zone for producing Chianti Classico.

Villa Rosa is among the estates with the richest heritage in Castellina in Chianti, and its vineyards truly resonate the essence of the Chianti Classico.

The Cecchi Family purchased the property from the Lucherini Bandini Family, who carefully tended the land for almost 70 years. The families shared a great friend, who kept the families close together: the renowned and formidable wine taster, Giulio Gambelli.

In 2015, as soon as the company was purchased, a meticulous work of soil profiling commenced, consisting in the in- depth analysis of the terrain by employing the most innovative techniques.

The name ‘Isole e Olena’ came about in the 1950s when the De Marchi family purchased and combined two adjoining estates, ‘Isole’ and ‘Olena’, each of which dated back hundreds of years. The estate is located in the heart of the Chianti Classico region at the midway point between Siena and Florence. 

Fourth-generation winemaker Paolo De Marchi studied Agriculture at the University of Turin and worked several harvests in California and France. When he first arrived at the family estate in 1976 from his home in Piemonte, he found much need for improvement and modernization in the Chianti Classico region. One of the initial projects involved planting single vineyards of international varieties. Through these advances, Paolo ultimately discovered a way to balance tradition with innovation.

Ricasoli is the most representative wine producer in the Chianti Classico area. With its gentle hills, velvety valleys and thick woodlands of oaks and chestnuts, the 1,200 hectares of property include almost 240 hectares of vineyards and 26 of olive groves.

This creates a continuous succession of colors and hues around the Brolio Castle, which is located within the town limits of Gaiole in Chianti. Since 1993, Baron Francesco Ricasoli has been guiding this central Tuscan company in innovative challenges. This has been done with the deepest respect for his renowned ancestors who have made this territory great, Bettino Ricasoli first and foremost.

Francesco Ricasoli, current owner and President of the company, has generated new ideas and concepts to render the vineyards sustainable. The ongoing study of soil types and the clonal selection of the Brolio Sangiovese are among his greatest passions, and he has totally renovated the vineyards and completely mapped them.

The new wines are therefore the expression of research carried out with the same scientific rigor of his illustrious ancestor but with a contemporary spirit, like a runner receiving the baton and carrying it forward with renewed energy.

Welcome to the largest family of Chianti Classico

On 21 June 1965, il Sir Gualtiero Armando Nunzi came together with an initial group of 18 winegrowers to unite under the name of Castelli del Grevepesa.

Their shared intention was to bring together different people from the various areas of Florentine Chianti Classico in order to safeguard the land and maintain intact the hundreds of years of traditional Tuscan winegrowing: the long-established know-how that farmers still pass on today from one generation to the next.

Castello di Fonterutoli - owned by the Mazzei family since 1435 - covers a total surface of 650 hectares, of which 110 are devoted to vineyards, divided into seven sites.

All the main operations - pruning, tying, stripping leaves, thinning out the bunches and harvesting, are carried out manually and in different times and ways for each plot.

The in-depth knowledge of our land together with forty years' research allowed us to select 36 types of Sangiovese, some of which are exclusively held by the Castello di Fonterutoli, making us a unique protagonist of Chianti Classico area.

The Certosa di Belriguardo, with its 75 hectares of land, seven of which are cultivated with vineyards, is located seven kilometres from Siena, in the heart of the “Chianti dei Colli Senesi” area.

The estate cultivates mainly Sangiovese, the area’s most representative grape variety, which has always been part of the DNA of these soils. The meticulous attention and care devoted to the vines is possible thanks to the limited extension of the vineyards, which are pruned and harvested entirely by hand.

The estate has abandoned the use of synthetic fertilisers and herbicides and is currently undergoing conversion to organic farming.

The Brancaia history started in 1981; the Swiss family Widmer purchased the Brancaia estate (Castellina in Chianti) as a Tuscan family retreat. Right from the start, Bruno and Brigitte Widmer decided that they would only produce wines of the highest quality. In addition to the original Brancaia Estate, in 1989, it was added the Poppi Estate (Radda in Chianti) and, in 1998, the Maremma Estate near the Mediterranean coast. Today, the winery comprises 40 hectares of vineyards in Chianti Classico and 40 in the Maremma, with winemaking facilities in each region.
