Rocca Guicciarda was in the past one of the most important feudal estates belonging to the Ricasoli family. Complex and harmonious wine in the traditional style, with an unmistakable label.

"Torricella, a historical label dating back to my great-grandfather’s times, today is prevalently made from Chardonnay, which, after spending some months in wood barrels, is bottled in the subsequent year to the harvest". Francesco Ricasoli

This label is dedicated to Bettino Ricasoli who invented the formula for the production of Chianti in 1872. He was born in Florence on March 9th 1809 and was the son of Baron Luigi and Elisabetta Peruzzi. He played a central role in the history of the Italian Risorgimento. But he was much more than this: he was twice Prime Minister of the united Italy (in 1861 and 1866), founder of the newspaper “La Nazione”, experimenter in agriculture and “father” of the first production regulations for Chianti Classico. When we produced this wine, we tried to follow his will and we worked on those elements that remind us of the style of his time.
