The best wineries in Toscana.
Azienda Agricola Pacenti Franco, established in the 1970's by Franco's father Rosildo. It took on its current name and the trade mark Canalicchio in 1988 when Franco took over management along with his wife, creating the current company.
The farm which covers approximately 36 hectares, 10 of which dedicated to vineyards and 1 to olive groves, is located in Canalicchio - a village whose fame comes from its age-long tradition for vine growing and wine making and is still family-run with the help of the children Lisa, Serena e Lorenzo.
One type of vine is grown, Sangiovese, which gives four varieties of wine: Rosso Toscana IGT "Il Bersaglio", Rosso di Montalcino DOC, Brunello di Montalcino DOCG and Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Riserva. Extra-Virgin olive Oil and Grappa di Brunello are also produced.
The wines can be accompanied by cold meats, cheeses, bruschetta and, if booked before by typical Tuscan dishes
The cellar was founded at the beginning of 1900 in Montalbano, a small territory in the Tuscany region that holds, still intact, all the noble characters of these ancient lands: romantic parish churches and small medieval villages with their towers, extended olive groves and vineyards, dotted by solitary cypresses, elegant and magnificent Medici villas close to laborious farmlands, in the waft of Leonardo da Vinci discrete genius.
The vineyards of Fattoria Betti are grown on clay soil, located 150-200 metres above sea level. Mostly the vineyards are planted to Sangiovese, Cabernet, Trebbiano, Canaiolo Nero and Merlot.
They are cultivated using the spurred cordon systems, and processed through partial grassing and organic fertilizers.
Once optimum ripeness is achieved, all grapes are hand harvested and meticulously sorted.
Our wines are the result of a deep passion and pride for our splendid territory. We
combine modern technologies with the ancient art of winemaking, taking particular care to express regional fruit characteristics with the subtle use of oak.
OUR AIM IS STRAIGHTFORWARD:
To produce a limited number of bottles applying the greatest possible care and constantly improving, year by year.
Tuscany has always been a land of great Wines and great Oils... ...not at all "Chianti" is the spark that lights up all over the world the hearts of lovers of the good Cuisine.
And it is right passion for the Land, for good Wine and for Olive Oil that in 1935 led the brothers Carlo and Alberto Galardi, descendants of a family of Florentine merchants, to buy the estate of Poggiopiano.
Mauro is still keen to tell the family management, the desire to do and to be able to build, the commitment to maintain traditions while taking due consideration of all the improvements related to the progress in the wine and olive oil extraction fields, which characterized these years. His plan gives other people the opportunity to share his passion: the land and its fruits, Wine and Oil; to bring joy to those who seek for the tranquility and serenity of the countryside. The same conviction of his predecessors guides Mauro in this project: the pursuit of quality. And like them, he is constantly studying an searching for technological innovations. The traditional family passion for mechanics and his scientific training have been and continue to represent the indispensable complement and support in the realization of his project.
Agriturismo Fattoria di Poggiopiano
The stay in a farmhouse inn allows tourists to relax in pristine environments, to observe closely nature and to discover the genuine and healthy taste of the Tuscan cuisine.
During the renovation of the farmhouse and the barn, as in the construction of the "small Tavern", used as a breakfast room, the goal has always been to create an as healthy as possible environment, in harmony with the environment and respecting the surrounding habitat. Where possible, the basic lines of green building have been followed, involving the use of natural materials and energy–saving systems. Hot water is produced by solar panels and a photovoltaic system on the new winery of the farm produces electricity, with net metering.
Poggiopiano is the place where you will find lots of tranquility, fascinating views of the landscape and a strong appeal to nature and simplicity: you can meet deer, hares, wild boars, squirrels, you can see hawks circling in the sky and fireflies shine in the warm summer evenings. It is the ideal place to get away for a while!
The cellar is located on the ground floor of the main house located in the center of the natural amphitheater of the vineyards. The space inside is simple and functional, following a philosophy that does not allow itself to be distracted by the large decorations but which devotes all attention to the production of wine. The modern and practical steel mixes with the wood of the large 10 and 50 hectolitre oak barrels that give body but do not weigh down with too pronounced notes. In these the wines evolve for a period of one year to three years and rest in the bottle for another one to two years.
Fattoria Carmignani is located in the heart of the hills of Montecarlo a few kilometers from Lucca. Since 1386 the Carmignani family has handed down from father to son the love and passion for the land and in particular for viticulture. Thanks to this combination of passion and modern equipment, our wines are born which you can taste accompanied by one of our sommeliers.
Poderi Arcangelo is a family-run farm and a farmhouse in the heart of Tuscany. My family has been producing wine for 3 generations, the total production is about 160,000 liters of wine per year, with organic certification since 2000. We only offer quality wines from organic production, we do not buy wine or grapes from other producers, so as to have better quality control of our products. We currently produce: 3 labels of Vernaccia di San Gimignano DOCG - Chianti Colli Senesi DOCG - Supertuscan IGT Sangiovese in Barrique - Quality extra virgin olive oil. We supply both national and international customers, paying particular attention to all the various needs of our customers. We currently operate successfully in some foreign markets including Japan, USA, Germany and we have future strategies to expand our markets.
A small organic farm in the heart of Tuscany. One of the many small Italian companies that, despite the difficult period, work with passion and commitment, obtaining excellent quality products so as to keep the deserved reputation of Italian wine high abroad. The Poggio la luna company is the realization of a dream of its founder Elisabetta Tommasoni who in 2012 took over, very close to the Terme di Saturnia, a small abandoned company but with great potential. A difficult terrain, in the middle of the Mediterranean scrub full of wild animals such as wild boars, foxes, roe deer, hares and pheasants, a stony and perfect terrain for the vine! The company is managed with the minimum use of mechanical means and chemicals, the vines coexist with bees that help keep the bunches clean as well as producing excellent honey. On a vineyard area of only 4Ha Elisabetta, with Francesco Rossi agronomist and oenological consultant of the company, breeds Sangiovese, Ciliegiolo, Merlot, Petit Verdot and among the whites Vermentino, Chardonnay and Viogner. An ancient Sangiovese vineyard with an intense blue fruit rich in polyphenols is carefully recovered from a state of neglect and is now prosperous and luxuriant: L'UNO derives a wine from the DOC Maremma Toscana. From the new vineyards shortly The Company will market two new labels, a Syrah doc Maremma Toscana aged in barrique and a Morellino di Scansano docg. In the cellar Elisabetta works according to the ethics of minimal intrusion, looking at the heritage of the terroir as decisive in forming the character of the wine. "A good wine is made above all on the plant, it is Nature that gives it to us!". The cellar practices are intended to accompany the grapes in the most natural transformation possible, limiting handling to a minimum. A good wine creates the perfect meeting between nature and the human factor. The importance of the moon: it is no coincidence that we chose Poggio la Luna as the name of the company, not only because when the moon rises or sets it seems to caress our vineyards with its rays, but also because, as our old farmers have always known , the moon has a great influence on all stages of wine making. We are always very careful to carry out all agricultural operations in harmony with the lunar rhythms: as usual, wines that will have to face a long aging are bottled with the waning moon and with the crescent moon the sparkling wines and with the full moon the others , but never bottle with the black moon or when it rains.
Like other Tuscan farmers of ancient families, I find myself reconciling secular traditions with the evolution of the times every day. I believe that the love for the land, the vineyards, the olive groves, handed down for many generations, has become part of my genetic heritage. The legacy of the POPPIANO CASTLE in the Chianti Colli Fiorentini represents for me the legacy of the Guicciardini family from the 11th century, while MASSI DI MANDORLAIA in the Morellino di Scansano in Maremma is a new reality desired and created. BELVEDERE CAMPOLI in Chianti Classico is the latest act of a diversification oriented towards quality.
The Montechiari property is located right at the top of a hill in the center of the well-known area of Montecarlo. All around are the vineyards, on the slopes, best exposed, and the olive trees, for a total of twenty-three hectares. The ten hectares of vineyards are divided into small parcels, to make the most of the lighting and soil characteristics. Very characteristic alluvial soils, which represent a particularity of our hill and which bind our wines as a common thread, with a very recognizable terroir imprint. French vines have always been traditional in the Montecarlo vineyards and we wanted to reproduce them, in the tradition but with the intention of producing innovative wines. This is how chardonnay, semillon, pinot nero, carbernet franc and merlot. flanked by the sangiovese grosso, in specialized vineyards that we cultivate aiming for the highest quality of the grapes, without compromise.
Selvole is immersed in the Chianti Classico hills, 15 minutes from Siena. It is surrounded by woods, vineyards and olive groves, and can only be reached by going through some unpaved historic roads typical of Chianti. These roads are protected by the region because the Eroica passes there, the annual vintage bicycle race event that takes place in the autumn. According to the organizers, "since 1997 L'Eroica has been an example of enhancing the environmental heritage, sustainable lifestyle, and clean cycling." The sweet landscapes and the luxuriant nature satisfy the eye and regenerate the spirit, offering a bucolic peace away from the city tension.
At Podere Volpaio they produce Wine, Raisin Wine, Oil and Grappa using all trhough the production process the method of organic farming. “The organic method of cultivation is a clean form of agriculture which excludes the use of synthetic chemicals, pesticides or herbicides”. The soil is fertilized only with organic substances, the vineyards are treated, in a preventive manner, with organic substances harmless to animals and insects and do not leave any toxic residue in the soil and in wine.
The soil of Pliocene origin is rich in marine fossils and is featured by calcareous marl resting on tufa and parts of terrain with mixed sand and clay, an excellent sun exposure, and traditional methods of cultivation and harvest, still manual, allow us to obtain products of high quality with large variations, of great body. The ruby red color is typical of Chianti, with amber highlights more pronounced in the Reserves, pleasant and persistent aromas that give the wines of Podere Volpaio an unmistakable elegance and tipicality, unique in its kind.
Friend,
maybe you shake,
in this moment,
your woman’s hand.
Or they surround you,
as important beacons,
the eyes of your children.
Or it hugs you, warm,
the affection of your friends
sitting here with you.
Enjoy the good fortune
to be happy together:
toast with them and drink
without counting glasses and smiles,
Montescudaio White
or Red, as you think.
And if it knaws at you
what you feared most,
– the anger of being alone –
Montescudaio may be
for you a dear comrade:
whoever you want
in your memory or in your heart,
will be brought to you.
But if you are looking for harmony
with yourself and with your family,
a thimble of Vin Santo,
and even perfumes of heaven.
Angels and Cherubs
will take you by the hand,
will breathe in your face
and dust you with serenity.
On the initiative of the Valdichiana producers, on 9 Decembre 1965 the Bianco Vergine Valdichiana Consortium was founded in Cortona, with the aim of promoting the DOC institution for white wine, implemented with the Decree of the President of the Republic on 1 September 1972. In 1999 the Consortium, which in the meantime had established its headquarters in Arezzo, brought a great change to the specifications, including in the DOC also other types of white and red wines, always produced in Valdichiana, bringing to completion after more than thirty years the right aspirations of producers. The DOC changed its name in Valdichiana and the Consortium took the actual denomination of “Consorzio Vini Valdichiana”. It aims to protect quality and compliance with the specifications, to promote and support production in the markets and towards consumers. For the actions of protection of the quality and compliance with the specifications, the Consortium obtained with the Decree of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry of 14 July 2003 the task of vigilance towards its members. This activity, which brings substantial benefits also to consumers, is carried out with periodic controls both in the company (vineyards and wineries) and on the bottled wine collected in sale points.
