Fattoria Bellavista Casignano, located in the picturesque Chianti hills just outside Florence, is a family estate with deep historical roots. Established in 1960, the estate includes a 14th-century villa once home to the famous Macchiaiolo painter Giovanni Fattori, whose legacy is preserved through a collection of drawings and an oil painting of the villa. The estate spans 40 hectares of vineyards and olive groves, dedicated to producing high-quality Tuscan wines and extra virgin olive oil. Committed to organic farming and social inclusion, the estate blends tradition with innovation. is why we started a collaboration with Social Cooperative of Scandicci.

The production area is the Chianti Classico (which is basically a circle between Florence and Siena) and Montesecondo is located in the North West of this area. We have two vineyards, one at 500 meters above sea level (Vignano - 6 hectares) with predominantly galestro soil (typical Chianti soil) which is more draining and the other vineyard at 150 meters above sea level (Montesecondo - 12 hectares) which is formed by clay, sand and fluvial stone. Montesecondo is certified organic (since 2004) and biodynamic. The vineyard only is certified, not the cellar, so the organic label, for now, is not found on the bottles. All fermentations are done with indigenous yeast which means that the yeasts naturally present in the cellar and on the grapes are exploited (a kind of sourdough). The harvest is manual. The only addition to the musts or wines are sulfites, before bottling when necessary and in very limited quantities.
