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.

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.

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.

Set in the scenic Chianti Classico hills of Castelnuovo Berardenga you’ll find the stunning estate of Fattoria di Valiano. The organically farmed 75 hectares of vines are managed by Valiano’s vigneron and winemaker, Pasquale Presutto, who pays close attention to every detail. The soul of the estate revolves around the production of Chianti Classico, to which two exclusive and specially dedicated vineyards are reserved for the Gran Selezione designation.

Fattoria di Valiano

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.

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.

Caparsa is a vineyard run by Paolo Cianferoni and his big family since 1982. 
The vineyard was bought from Paolo's father Prof. Reginaldo Cianferoni in 1965 and he's the one that started to build the vine fields. Those old fields has been refurbished from Paolo since 1999 and they cover a surface of 12 ha and 45 of forest.
Caparsa winery is totally organic certified, both in the fields and in the cellar. Sangiovese is the main grape in Caparsa, wich is located in Radda in Chianti area, maybe one of the most charming and beautiful areas in the world and one of the highest quality wines production areas too. Caparsa wines have a unique and unmistakable acid tone, where the bouquet and the tannins come out at their authentic terroir. 
Caparsa's philosophy can be simplified in one single word: tradition. The wine culture is hand down since the sharecropping system, when the wine was considered like food and complementary to food. That’s why the healthiness of all their productive processes and the wine itself is the best characteristic and expression of Caparsa's philosphy. 
Healthiness means quality. Particularly, it's the territory that gives originality to all Caparsa's products: flora, fauna, insects, fungal, microorganisms, soils, weather conditions, fields exposure etc together with workers and Paolo himself, all of this make the wine unique.

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.

Incrocio Manzoni 2.15

The first historical traces of the Castello La Leccia date back to 1077. 
During the 15th century, one of the most ancient Florentine Families, the Ricasoli, dominated the castle. It had also been the bulwark in the continuous wars between Florence and Siena.
In the 18th century, the castle had been partially renovated into a manor house, leaving the remaining hamlet a comfortable place where about 70 people lived.
The Castello La Leccia is an organic farm and  a medieval luxury vineyard accommodation. We care for these lands and truly love these places; it is with great passion we have restored light and life to this house. We are not an Hotel but a family. Our idea is to greet you and share our intense love for this Tuscan location.
In 2018, the baton was passed to the Swiss Sonderegger family who, with the same passion and commitment of former times, now manages Castello la Leccia. Thanks to the dedication and attention with which our team perform their duties on a daily basis, the values of respect for the environment and nature have been renewed.

A good vintner must favour the natural balance of the ecosystem. With this strong belief we sustain the development of life in the ground. We 
are organic certified from the 2013 and we use a reduced quantity of copper and sulphur for phytosanitation, we favour the use of resistance inductors to increase the intrinsic defence of plants. 
Our vineyards are located in five different areas around the central core of the Castle at altitudes ranging from 300 to 500 meters above sea level. They are exposed to the south and southwest and have their roots in clayey soils rich in limestone. It is in these differences that Sangiovese releases its ductility, expressing complexity and structure rather than sweetness and elegance. We also grow small quantities of Malvasia Nera, Syrah and Ciliegiolo.

To obtain a good product, ripe and healthy grapes are certainly needed, but in any case, the cellar represents a delicate phase of production. The grapes from each vineyard are harvested and vinified separately, the fermentation, initiated by the indigenous yeasts, takes place in steel tanks at a controlled temperature. After racking, the wine continues malolactic fermentation in the cement. The next phase, perhaps the most delicate, is the assembly of Sangiovese of Chianti Classico which, coming from four distinct vineyards, has very different characters and aromas. The refinement then takes place both in concrete tanks and in oak barrels and barriques.
