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.

Castelli del Grevepesa

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.

Cafaggio

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.

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

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 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.

In one of the most captivating and renowned areas of Chianti Classico region, near the hamlet of Monti in Chianti, approximately 7 km south of Gaiole in Chianti, you’ll find Rocca di Montegrossi estate, owned by Marco Ricasoli Firidolfi, a descendant of Bettino Ricasoli, who wrote the history of the region and Chianti Classico wine.

The estate produces two Chianti Classicos. Both are based on Sangiovese, which, in this area, yields an extremely elegant, balanced wine with pleasant minerality. To further increase the complexity of the wines, two indigenous complementary varietals are added: Canaiolo (in 2000 a further vineyard was planted using cuttings from selected vines in the estate’s older vineyards) and Pugnitello. Monti in Chianti is one of the areas of Chianti Classico best suited to the cultivation of the vine, and for this reason Rocca di Montegrossi’s owner Marco Ricasoli Firidolfi decided to also plant varietals that have nothing to do with tradition (Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon), but that allow the terroir to different expressions.
