À propos du vignoble et des vins
In 1300, the estate that is now Palazzo Vecchio was the heart of the historically important Fattoria di Valiano farm. Located on the border between the Papal States and the Grand Duchy of Tuscany and overlooking the Val di Chiana, the estate has witnessed major historical events, including the famous reclamation and drainage of the Chiana valley. This spectacular feat of engineering and hydraulics was initiated by Leonardo da Vinci in 1500 and later developed by Antonio da Sangallo.
En 1788, le grand-duc Léopold Ier de Lorraine a commandé un grand projet au comte Vittorio Fossombroni, dans le but de faire du Val di Chiana la région la plus fertile de Toscane. Le projet a duré quatre-vingt-dix ans. C'est ici, sur les terres argileuses qui entourent cette zone, qu'est produit le Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG, un grand vin italien issu de la plus petite appellation toscane.
