Carus Vini

Carus Vini is located in San Casciano in Val di Pesa, one of the most scenic areas of Chianti Classico, renowned for producing exceptional wines. Owned by Guido Carissimo, the estate spans 26 hectares, with 13.5 hectares dedicated to vineyards and 4.5 to olive trees, all organically certified since the 2017 harvest. The land has a rich history, inhabited since Etruscan times and known for wine and olive oil production. Chianti's wine heritage dates back to 1398, with the Chianti Classico area recognized as the “most ancient original territory” in a 1932 Ministerial Decree. At Carus Vini, we are dedicated to producing wines and olive oil with the utmost respect for the environment, blending modern technology with time-honored traditions.

At our winery, we have a charging station for electric cars, along with dedicated sockets for electric bicycles. The service is open to everyone and can be easily located both on the Enel X map (www.mobility.enelx.com/it/mappa-stazioni-ricarica) and on Google Maps by searching for “Carus Vini.” 

In line with our commitment to environmental sustainability, during daylight hours the energy used for charging comes directly from the photovoltaic panels installed on the winery’s rooftops. This means that every charge helps reduce emissions and promotes a responsible use of resources.

The charging station is equipped with a Type 2 C socket, the standard for electric vehicle charging in Europe. It delivers 7.5 kWp of power, at a cost of €0.60/kWh, one of the most competitive rates on the market thanks to our in-house renewable energy production.

At Carus Vini, we focus on crafting high-quality wines with minimal environmental impact, adhering to the principles of Integral Agriculture. Our organic farming practices emphasize sustainability, with no use of chemical products, natural nitro-sating crops between vineyard rows, and hand-harvested grapes. We avoid large-scale replanting, replacing individual plants as needed to maintain the integrity of the vineyard. Solar panels and wood heating from our farm power our estate, ensuring a low carbon footprint. Our wines embody the rich traditions of the Chianti Classico region, offering a perfect blend of innovation and respect for the land, resulting in wines that reflect the true essence of the territory.
