Casa Al Vento

Listening to the sound of silence. Admiring the shapes carved by vineyards and olive groves.

Let yourself be captivated by a unique wine, and discover its secrets. Let the wine be your therapy, let it regenerate you in your palate and your skin.

Rediscover the flavours of a simple kitchen made of real ingredients. Casa al Vento is the essence of Chianti: health and taste.

Borgo Casa al Vento is the result of a great and eternal love, of the extraordinary passion of Ria and Pine Gioffreda in creating this great work.

Rocca di Castagnoli

In the eighteenth century, under the guidance of the Tempi family, Castagnoli was one of the most famous estates in the area, as well evidenced by the compliments of the Grand Duke Pietro Leopoldo who, in 1773, on a visit to the Chianti area, praised its enlightened management, emphasizing the excellent condition of the farms and the very good living conditions of the peasants.

At the end of the eighteenth century, with the extinction of the Tempi family, Castagnoli went to the Ricasoli family. In 1924, the Rocca di Castagnoli farm, together with the most important companies in the area, founded the Wine Consortium of Chianti Classico.

Of course, many things have changed: since 1981, when the actual owners settled, extensive renovations to the villa and the stronghold have been carried out. Modern working methods, both in the vineyards and in the winery, have been introduced. A modern winery has been created, while the wine cellars of the medieval fortress have been converted into places for aging in wood.

Barone Ricasoli

Since 1993 at the head of the family business, Francesco Ricasoli renews the quality and personality of the great wines of Brolio, experimenting and enhancing the unique characteristics of the area and its history.

New labels are created, award–winning wines, known all over the world, are perfected: the research by Baron Ricasoli continues and gives new meanings to the wine culture and the art of drinking.

Badia a Coltibuono

Badia a Coltibuono or the abbey of the good harvest, was founded by the monks of Vallombrosa about a thousand years ago, as a place of worship and meditation. In 1051, the monks of the Vallombrosa order began to build the monastery of the Good Harvest planting at the same time the first vines in this area.

In the fifteenth century Coltibuono experienced a further development under the patronage of Lorenzo de’ Medici. In 1810, under the Napoleonic rule, the monks were forced to leave Coltibuono. In the following years, the property was first sold through a lottery, and in 1846 and was bought by Michele Giuntini, Florentine banker and ancestor of the present owners.

Under the guidance of Piero Stucchi Prinetti, the farm was transformed into a company establishing itself in Italy and abroad. Today, his children Emanuela, Paolo and Guido continue the work undertaken by their ancestors more than a century ago.

La Porta di Vertine

The story of Porta di Vertine begins in 2006 when Dan and Ellen Lugosch buy a vineyard in the form of an amphitheater in the village of Vertine, in Gaiole, in the Chianti Classico area. Their main interest is to explore the characteristics of the Sangiovese vineyards, selecting and choosing the soil that make its complexity and attitude to aging stand out in the best way.

La Casa di Bricciano

The Casa di Bricciano company combines with simplicity the combination of land–glass. The wines are clean and well–made.

Castello di Ama

A place of worship in the wine world. We, Italians, often complain that we do not have our own Chateaux Margaux, Romane Conti or Opus One. But we are wrong, because in Italy there are some wineries that are something beyond and different than a fascinating winery. Those are the relatively few cradles of civilization of Bacchus, where everything is just perfect and where time becomes memory in history, remembering sensations, an indispensable ingredient in the making of wine. Castello di Ama is one of these meeting points of pure harmonies (...)



Ama is small village in the hills, about 500 meters above sea level, in the municipality of Gaiole in Chianti, in the province of Siena. It is located in the historic heart of Chianti Classico, where vineyards alternate with olive groves and woods.



The company, founded in 1972 for the sake of four Roman families, currently has a total area of ​​approximately 250 hectares, of which 90 are planted with vineyards and 40 with olives trees, at an average altitude of 480 meters. The production, derived exclusively from owned vineyards, is around 300–350 thousand bottles per year, which corresponds to about 3,500–4,000 bottles per hectare, and finds its paradigm in the Castello di Ama, a wine that is obtained through the selection of the most suited areas of Sangiovese.
