Immersed in the idyllic reality of Vinci, on the slopes of Montalbano, we find Fattoria Dianella 1, a reality that in the past was frequented by the ancient Medici family, who used it for their hunting trips. Fattoria Dianella 1 has been managed by the Lunardi family for over four generations, who passionately cultivate and produce real, genuine and high-quality products. In 1966, Egidio Lunardi, at the age of 60, with a daring entrepreneurial spirit decided to get involved, going into debt to buy the farm, looking with farsightedness to a future that would be full of satisfaction. Egidio was succeeded in 1997 by his nephews: Francesco and Leonardo Lunardi, who managed to pass on and keep alive the passion for the land that distinguishes their family. Today Francesco Lunardi is responsible for production, while Leonardo is responsible for sales. Fattoria Dianella 1 is the mirror of who we are: in fact, the company and the terroir express the personality of those who take care of it and those who respect it, managing it year after year with dedication and love.

Dianella’s cellars can be found underneath the villa and park. The renovation of the historical cellars was done with great care to respect the original aesthetic and function of the rooms, but with an eye to modernise the spaces with the most cutting edge technologies available. The result is an operational space where contemporary practices interact with the historical cellars, now transformed into a museum. Each plot of the vineyard is harvested separately. Once the grapes have been harvested, they are brought to the cellar where the process of vinification begins in small steel tanks, with a careful control of the fermentation process while still maintaining the unique characteristics of each separate plot. At the end of the fermentation process, the wines are transferred to the Concrete Cellar for the second fermentation, following by the final stage of ageing in varying sizes of wooden barrels or French barriques of aged oak. Throughout the process the wines are monitored frequently with lab tests, even during the final perfecting of the wines once bottled, where they are kept in a carefully controlled environment before they arrive at their final destination.

We are a small family farm located in Vinci, the birthplace of Leonardo da Vinci, dated back 1.000 year and always owned by the Comparini Bardzky family which passed down from father to son, this beautiful heritage. With 8.000 olive trees and 5 hectars of wineyard, our production is focused on high quality wines and extra virgin olive oil. The farm is located at an altitude of around 600 meters and this position, combined with a windy weather, the influence of the sea (it's 40 km far from here) and a rocky and mineral soil, allows us to produce bodied wines with a very particular structure but at the same time, easy to drink, Due to our long history, we're very attached to the tradition which is still present in the way of doing our products, but always looking at the innovation which is the key to realize good wines. Our artisanal work is reflected also in every step of the production from the harvest to the bottling, by making everything by hand and putting all our efforts in giving you the best quality possible. We hope to transmit you all our passion for our work, for the nature and the reason why we're still here after 1000 year of history.Tasting notes
