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.

The 2023 growing season was characterized by a spring with higher-than-average rainfall compared to recent years. This necessitated meticulous vineyard management, particularly with regard to canopy control, in order to mitigate the risk of fungal diseases. Despite high temperatures in July and August, the vines did not experience hydric stress, as soil water reserves— replenished during the wet spring—were sufficient to sustain vine development. Additionally, the warm conditions prevented the onset of insect infestations. A pronounced diurnal temperature range during late August and early September contributed to the achievement of optimal grape ripening.

During the 2022 season, no extreme weather events occurred, providing favorable conditions for vine development. The high summer temperatures were mitigated by mid-August rains, which contributed to an optimal grape ripening process. The Sangiovese harvest began slightly ahead of schedule, around September 10, and concluded smoothly after about a month.
