The best wineries in Castelnuovo Berardenga.
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.
The first winery was built a thousand years ago by the Canons of the Cathedral of Siena. Over the centuries, it has remained an intact testimony to the importance that wine has always had in Canonica a Cerreto. The same Bishops, who were owners and have lived in Canonica a Cerreto for three hundred years, have changed only what was essential.
In 2003, we decided also to build a new winery, now necessary, in order to achieve maximum efficiency in both winemaking and aging. If it is absolutely true that the quality of wine begins in the vineyard, it is also true that nowadays you can not do without a modern winery that offers the best hygienic conditions and goes along with the various processes that a wine needs in order to to achieve the maximum expression of a territory and of the vines that compose it.
Fermentation takes place in steel vats and aging in small oak barrels, which are normally used for about three years.
Pierluigi Tolaini, after a career as an entrepreneur in Canada, went back to Italy in 1998, to buy lands suitable for viticulture on a large scale. He chose the properties of Montebello and San Giovanni near Castelnuovo Berardenga, for an extension of 108 hectares of land among vineyards, olive groves and woods.
The intention was that to reorganize completely the state of the existing vineyards, farming systems and related structures. In 1999, the renovation of the estates of Montebello and San Giovanni began, also realizing offices, wine cellars and housing for workers. In 2000, the most important work of this project started: the construction from scratch of the barrel cellar.
Domenico Poggiali bought Felsina farm in 1966 and with a courageous act, during that difficult time of Italian viticulture, he chose to invest on the quality of wine and on the expertise of some young people.
Lovers of viticulture and skilled entrepreneurs, Domenico and his son Giuseppe modernized the management of the country without abandoning the spirit of tradition. Within a few years, the hectares of vine became more than forty and they also changed the essence and the organization of the company. In the second half of the seventies, his son–in–law Giuseppe Mazzocolin entered the company with the task to develop commercially the company. His humanistic culture and his awareness of the responsibility of man in his work contributed to the growth of the culture of wine in Italy and abroad, obtaining his first international recognition. His friendship with Veronelli and his collaboration with the winemaker Franco Bernabei have charted a course that reveals itself with extreme consistency in wines from the 1983 vintage, the first of Fontalloro and Rancia, up to the present days. Under the guidance of Domenico and Giuseppe Poggiali, a path begins, that since 1990 sees even Giovanni Poggiali as protagonist, the first of the three children of Giuseppe.
