HISTORY NOTES

The origins of vine cultivation in Tuscany are lost in the mists of time.

Already our Etruscan ancestors 6 centuries B. C. were famous for the production of Chianti wine which was transported in amphorae through the Mediterranean ports.

The Chianti region, which stretches between Florence and Siena has become famous since Roman times. The gentle, well-lit hills, the warm summer and cold winter climate, the very stony soil in which rain is drained quickly and flows into small rivers at the bottom of the valleys, the oak and pine forests that maintain an exceptional microclimate for the cultivation of vine have made Chianti wine production area one of the most important in Italy and among the most famous in the world. If you are in Tuscany you can't help but see and tasting Chianti.
