Wineries

Castello Vicchiomaggio

Wine has always been produced in the Castle and its owners, John and Paola Matta, devote temselves to preserve this tradition, begun centuries ago.

Many styles have been produced and range from traditional to innovative.

To obtain this, the entire terroir has been rigorously classified according to its typology and the exposure of vineyards.

All wines bear the name of their vineyard on their label.

Fattoria Le Fonti

In the heart of Chianti Classico, halfway between Florence and Siena, the small village of Panzano is located. Just below the parish church, 450 meters above sea level, there is Fattoria Le Fonti. The estate covers more than 15 hectares, of which 8 and a half are dedicated to vineyards, and the others to the cultivation of olives.

Le Fonti is a small company that produces about 40,000 bottles per year. The farm has been conducted by the Schmitt–Vitali family since 1994. The entire chain of wine production, from pruning to marketing, is followed by the family, with the help of a few experts and collaborators. The winemaking activity is followed by the oenologist Dr. Stephen Chioccioli.

Since 1994, all the vineyards were replanted with vines selected for our land and our position. The wine cellars have been completely renovated and new technologies have been introduced to produce wines of superior quality. The roots of a great wine are always to be found in the vineyard. We follow a system of sustainable agriculture to preserve a good balance in our land. The relatively small size of the company allows us to follow the company’s production with particular care: only the best grapes arrive in the winery and only the best selections are bottled and commercialized.

Azienda vitivinicola Fontodi

Fontodi belongs since 1968 to the Manetti family, devoted for centuries to an activity typical of the Chianti area: the production of the famous terracotta.



Exactly in the name of this strong bond with the territory and with great passion for quality, the company is successfully addressed towards a more and more careful cultivation of the vineyards and a more in–depth knowledge of Sangiovese’s potential in the territory of Panzano.

Fattoria di Lamole

The fascination of Lamole is nourished by the charm of colors, from the pale purple of irises in early May, joining the yellow of brooms in late spring, to the bright green of vines, the silver of olive trees, to the darker colors of the forest and so on, up the yellow and red ripening grapes, that agree in October in a kind of symphony of colors.

But Lamole is the cradle of the viticulture of Chianti. Lamole has had, for centuries, the reputation of fine wine. Lamole was, and still is, synonymous with fine wine, full of enticing aromas.

Antico Borgo di Sugame

Antico Borgo di Sugame dates back to about 1200 AD as an inhabited location. The meaning of the name Sugame is unknown but it is shared with the adjacent pass over the hills between the Val di Greve and the upper Val d'Arno. 'Antico' means 'ancient' and 'borgo' means a hamlet or small village. Indeed, Sugame was just that, and the piazza which separates the two main buildings was the centre of this village, where the women worked or children played, just as they do today.

PODERE CAMPRIANO

The Campriano Estate is located in the heart of the Chianti region and covers approximately three hectares, among olive groves and vineyards adjacent to the town of Greve in Chianti.

The company is conducted entirely by the family and has renewed all its own vineyards in 1999 while maintaining some plots as grandfather Nello had left them. The exposition of the vineyards and the mineral characteristic of the lands give the grapes produced inside the Campriano area an immediately recognizable feature.

Fattoria di Rignana

Rignana's wines are produced using exclusively our own grapes: Sangiovese predominantly, Canaiolo, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Respecting the traditions of Chianti is our principal aim: this has encouraged us to modify the accurate work carried out in the vineyards, enabling us to convert our wine farm into a biological production by 2013. Sure to give value to the Panzano territory with the characteristics of our Chianti Classico, IGT and Rosè wine.

La Madonnina - Triacca

The Triacca family owns wineries in Valtellina and in Tuscany. La Madonnina is situated in the Chianti Road, actually a very big reality which produces about six hundred bottles of wine per year, all red, of high quality.

Azienda Agricola S.Lucia in Faulle

The Santa Lucia farm in Faulle, where the Castello dei Rampolla wine is produced, is located in the valley which opens to the south of Panzano. Since 1964 Alceo di Napoli has devoted himself to the rational modern viticulture. The first productions start in 1970, the first bottlings with the harvest of 1975.

Ambrogio e Giovanni Folonari

The Folonari family has been working in the wine sector since the end of the eighteenth century. In 1825 the family activity became Fratelli Folonari company, wholly owned, whose mission was to develop, produce and distribute the best Italian wines in the world.

In 1912 Italo Folonari, the grandfather of Ambrogio Folonari, with his brother Francesco, bought the Ruffino company, known at the time for typically packaged in flasks Chianti.



After the Second World War, some profound changes in Italy in terms of economic growth and standard of living became highly visible. This trend influenced the wine sector, in which the Folonari family, especially Ambrogio, were among the first to promote this new trend by producing high quality wines that helped to create the “new frontier” of Italian wine. At the end of the 60s the family sold the Fratelli Folonari company, which was placed on the segment of table wines, and began to focus on the bottled wines originally thanks to the purchasing of the famous estate of Nozzole near Greve in Chianti, in the heart of Chianti Classico. At the same time they bought other estates in Tuscany with the aim of producing fine wines, including Cabreo, designed by Ambrogio in the 80s.

In 2000, Ambrogio left the Ruffino company and the rest of his family and the created with his son the Ambrogio and Giovanni Folonari Estate taking some of the best agricultural properties. In this way, a group of companies located in the most suited areas of Tuscany was created:



In addition to these wine, some of the estates produce some other typical specialties such as Vin Santo, in particular that of Nozzole, the oil extra virgin olive oil, such as the fruity of Nozzole wine, the soft one of La Fuga and the harmonic one of Campo al Mare. Finally, using the best vinasse, the finest brandies of Pareto, Cabreo, Torcalvano, Le Due Sorelle and Spalletti were produced. Upon completion of this representative range excellent wines, spirits and food specialities were selected.
