About Winery and Wines

A landscape with the silence of the middle ages and a cellar with a thousand years of history. A sea of woods, olive groves, vineyards, dotted with villages, churches and castles. Located on the highest hills in the heart of Chianti Classico, Premiata Fattoria di Castelvecchi, in Radda in Chianti, tells centuries of traditions and a present of persistent wine challenges. Here we cultivate an ancient passion, through eleven precious crus, where old restored vineyards grow into the mother land of Tuscany. Here you can find wines of great character, such as Capotondo, Lodolaio, Madonnino, Solana, awarded in Italy and the in the world. Rewarded of those blind tasting that belong to the local tradition: appreciated by those rare connoisseurs who still feel inside the glass the beat of time.

The vineyards of the Premiata Fattoria di Castelvecchi in Chianti are a true Heritage of Italian viticulture, such as the cellars and the castle. Almost all the vines are over 50 years; the remaining come from selections made within the oldest vineyards that are patiently replicated. The hearts-shaped vineyard that opens magically in front of the cellar is really the heart of the whole estate, obtained by clonal selection carried out controlling the vineyards plant by plant. This very special vineyard enchants the eyes and give uniqueness to the taste of our Chianti with its unique grapes. The desire to obtain the best from the centuries-old clones of Sangiovese that has always been cultivated on these hills characterizes every choice of our viticulture: the aim is making the most out of the concept of territoriality. In each of the vineyards the union of human wisdom and natural selection over time have given rise to Sangiovese clones with unique and inimitable features, and so unique are the wines that come from them.
