Castello la Leccia

Winery in Chianti, Chianti Classico

About the Winery

Castello La Leccia is a historic estate dating back to 1077, once dominated by the Ricasoli family during the Florence-Siena conflicts. Today, the castle is an organic farm located in the heart of Tuscany. Lovingly restored, the estate offers a family-like atmosphere where guests can experience the authentic Tuscan lifestyle. Surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, Castello La Leccia embodies a deep respect for the land and a commitment to sustainability, welcoming visitors to immerse themselves in its rich history and serene beauty.

About the Wines

At Castello La Leccia, winemaking is rooted in respecting the natural ecosystem. The estate's vineyards, situated between 300 and 500 meters above sea level, produce complex and elegant wines, with Sangiovese as the star variety. Chianti Classico, the flagship wine, showcases the estate’s connection to the land, while the Bruciagna vineyard contributes to the prestigious "Gran Selezione." Other varieties like Malvasia Nera, Syrah, and Ciliegiolo are blended to create distinctive IGT wines, and the estate also produces a unique white IGT wine based on Incrocio Manzoni.

The place and tour guide were amazing. The wine is superb. We bought 3 bottles to take home. The tour, the view, and the tasting were very nice.

Nature, history and wine
The winery located in the Castello della Leccia is easy to reach. Having arrived at the large parking lot, we waited a few minutes at the castle's elegant reception. The first part of the tour takes place outside, where the history of the castle is explained, and continues at the entrance to the winery, where a map of the estate, the types of vineyards, and the wines produced are also shown. The tour itself begins now with a visit to the fermentation room and then to the cellar. It ends in the tasting room, where the tasting of the wines and oil takes place.

Highly Recommend!
Our family had a lovely visit at Castello la Leccia. The area is beautiful ,as is the estate.. Our host Caterina was very welcoming and knowledgeable, the tour was interesting and informative.
Wish we had more space in our bags to buy more bottles of wine to bring home .We will definitely recommend, thanks so much.

There is a website for Tuscany area, i suggest that they add a link to Winediring on their site. It is much easier to plan a trip when you have valuable information in one place.

Wow wow
Our guide was excellent, the tour very interesting and the tasting wow. We had the right to taste a wine not included in our package and tasting olive oil has finished the experiment well.
All was good
