Castello di Monterinaldi is nestled in the heart of the Chianti Classico's oldest region, between Panzano and Radda in Chianti, atop a hill that, from above, resembles the shell of a turtle, near an ancient Etruscan road. Legend has it that the origins of this historic site date back to 1010 AD, when "Count Gottifredo, of Lombard descent and lord of Monte Rinaldi," gave the place its name and laid the foundations for the Castello di Monterinaldi. Over the past thousand years, the castle has withstood numerous battles, from the medieval conflicts, notably the Battle of Montaperti in 1260, to the Second World War, losing parts of its structure and the surrounding homes. Yet today, the Castello di Monterinaldi still stands proudly at the center of the estate, with its winemaking operations based at La Pesanella, the charming villa located at the foot of the castle.

Fattoria di Montemaggio is a small family-run organic estate in the heart of the Chianti Classico area in Tuscany. It is situated where once a 14th-century tower stood above the old Roman road between Siena and Florence in Italy. Montemaggio also is featured on a map, dating back to 1560, of the “Captains of the Guelph Party” that is housed in the Podesteria di Radda (City Hall). The name Montemaggio derives from “Monte Maggiore” (Big Mountain), which indicates its elevated position. The estate, which is a member of the Consortium of Chianti Classico, extends over an area of 70 hectares (about 190 acres) of vineyards, olive groves, and woods; it is situated at a high altitude of 450 to 600 meters above the sea level. The vineyards have a central position in the estate with an exposure to the southwest of remarkable importance. The soil is rich in galestro, sandstone, and alberese. The main grape varieties in the estate's vineyards are Sangiovese, with small additions of Merlot, Pugnitello, Chardonnay, Malvasia Nera, and Ciliegiolo. The particular position of the estate combined with the micro-climate, makes it possible for Montemaggio to offer a wide variety of products. We follow the concept of a very high-quality “Terroir” wine. We have a chance to look at the quality of wine in every bottle and make sure that the customer gets a very special product. The wines have been planted with a very high density per hectare (6250 plants/hectare in some vineyards). We then produce a lower quantity of grapes per hectare (35-60 Ql/hectare, depending on the vintage), by regulating it through pruning and selection techniques. The mission of Montemaggio is to produce very high-quality wines, which are highly connected to the land where they are produced. The estate's wines are a 100% hand-made special product that you will recognize as soon as you open the bottle.

Tenuta Campomaggio is situated in the Municipality of Radda in Chianti (Siena), atop a hill where the village of Campomaggio and its 18th-century manor house stand proudly. This area, renowned worldwide for Chianti Classico, is celebrated for its exceptional wine-producing conditions. Under the leadership of Cecilia and Tommaso Castellani, the estate has embraced a fresh perspective, innovative approach, and determined attitude. Since 2016, they have conducted a thorough evaluation of the estate's land and implemented plot-specific vinification methods. This intricate process has unveiled the estate's considerable potential, positioning it to showcase the true greatness of its terroir. Additionally, the Castellanis have expanded their enological consultancy and are undertaking a cellar renovation. The historic vineyards, originally spanning just over 25 hectares, have been progressively replanted since the Castellani family acquired the property in 1990. New vineyards have been added over the years, increasing the total vineyard area to 32 hectares. A significant planting of Sangiovese, totaling 3.5 hectares, was completed in spring 2021. The vineyards lie at altitudes ranging from 280 to 480 meters above sea level. The soil, a medium-textured, chalky-clay mix rich in rock fragments (galestro and alberese), provides excellent drainage and water retention, allowing vines to develop deep roots. The cooler temperatures, especially in spring, slow vegetative growth, resulting in smaller, more concentrated bunches that ripen slowly. The significant temperature fluctuations during summer, particularly at higher elevations (300-350 meters), enhance grape ripening, improving phenolic content and aromatic qualities. The estate’s primary grape variety is Sangiovese, complemented by Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah.

Podere l’Aja è situata a Radda in Chianti, nel cuore del Chianti Classico, a soli 400 mt in linea d’aria dal bellissimo borgo medievale.

L’Aiola is situated 14 km-drive from Siena across an ancient white road connecting Vagliagli, “la valley of garlics”, with Radda in Chianti. Built as a fortress during the local wars between the Florentine Republic and the Republic of Siena which ended in the 17th century, the Aiola Castle went through a radical transformation. The original aspect, characterized by town walls, drawbridge, secret underground tunnels has gradually left space to an elegant manor villa during the Renaissance, althought it maintained some original elements. In 1934 Aiola was bought by Senator Giovanni Malagodi, who started bottling the Classic Chianti with its own label since the 60s so that starting the wine production. In 2012 the ownership passed to some Russian entrepreneurs which paved immediately the way to an important program concerning the replanting of new vineyards and cellar refurbishment through the renovation all of equipment. Today Aiola lies at the heart of a modern farmhouse in the Classic Chianti, where vineyards, entirely surrounded by ancient holm forests, stretch across 36 hectares. The respect for the environment and its traditions, the rich experience gained during the years alongside of the deployment of cutting-edge equipment are a good recipe to keep up the brand prestige.

Castello di Volpaia is owned by the Mascheroni Stianti family and although each of them comes from totally different experiences, they fell in love with this "gift" that Giovannella Stianti Mascheroni received for her wedding. Each member of the family found himself participating in this adventure almost without realizing it, he built his life by modulating it in order to obtain time and energy to devote to him. Volpaia was born as a fortified medieval village in a sentinel position on the Pesa valley and on the top of a back. Today it remains part of the walls and two of the 6 towers. Instead, the medieval urban fabric is intact with the rural houses and buildings that make Volpaia one of the best preserved examples of a fortified rural village: a complex that framed among the vineyards, olive trees and woods that surround it, represents a real monument of a culture founded then as today on the vine and the olive tree. In the oldest part of the village, a professional kitchen has been created in which seminars and daily cooking courses are held. Another corner of the village houses "Osteria Volpaia" and in front of the oven. 10 modern rooms have been built on the edge of the Castle, while on the other side there are 2 small and refined apartments for longer stays.
