This is where tradition combines with advanced technology. The 18th century cellars, carved out of rugged limestone, are extensive. You’ll be fascinated by the rows of red stained oak barrels and halls of vast steel vats, temperature controlled for fermentation. You’ll see teams of experts tasting, blending, balancing to produce the finest Chianti Classico. Their passion created in 1968 the first Supertuscan, our renowned Vigorello.

Vin Santo Chianti Classico DOC 

Belcaro

Climatic conditions were quite variable. Mild winter with temperatures over seasonal averages, wet spring that caused a delay in flowering and a slight decrease of grapes quantity. In June and July there were very few rainfall and despite the month of August was hot, the abundant water reserves did not slow down ripening process of grapes. The month of September was marked by good weather, right rainfall and extreme temperature changes.
