(Winery in Chianti, Chianti Classico, Hills of Florence, Val d'Elsa)

About Winery and Wines

Castello Vicchiomaggio is a historic winery located atop a hill overlooking the Greve Valley in Chianti, Tuscany. The estate spans 140 hectares, with 34 hectares dedicated to vineyards and 10 hectares to olive groves. The Matta family, led by John and Paola Matta, has been dedicated to maintaining the winemaking traditions of the castle, which date back centuries. Their commitment to quality and passion for viticulture have positioned Castello Vicchiomaggio as a renowned producer of exceptional wines in the Chianti Classico region.

At Castello Vicchiomaggio, we cultivate traditional grape varieties such as Sangiovese, essential for producing Chianti Classico, as well as international varieties like Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, used for our IGT red wines. Our vineyards benefit from a Mediterranean climate and Galestro soil, with all vines facing south to ensure optimal sun exposure. We employ both cordon spur and guyot training systems, tailored to each grape variety to manage yield and enhance quality. Harvesting is done manually from mid-September to mid-October, followed by meticulous vinification in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The wines then mature in French oak barrels for periods ranging from 8 to 24 months, depending on the type, before bottling and further refinement.

Our wine selection includes:

Chianti Classico Annata: A young, fresh, and fruity wine, perfect for any occasion.

Chianti Classico Riserva: Aged longer for added complexity and depth, showcasing the elegance of Sangiovese.

Chianti Classico Gran Selezione: Our top-tier Chianti, made from the finest grapes and aged to perfection.

Super Tuscan: A blend of traditional and international varieties, offering a rich and robust flavor profile.

IGT Toscana Bianco: A white wine crafted from Vermentino grapes, presenting a crisp and refreshing taste.
