Fattoria Fibbiano

At Fattoria Fibbiano, "real wine" is defined by its authenticity, rooted in the ancient, autochthonous grape varieties that have thrived for centuries in the Tuscan landscape, often with little human intervention. Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Ciliegiolo, Colorino, and Colombana represent the very essence of the land, embodying its history, voice, and soul. These vines grow naturally in harmony with the environment, producing wines that are anything but ordinary. The winemaker’s role is minimal; instead, the power of nature is allowed to guide the process, resulting in wines that are true to their origins.

Located in the municipality of Terricciola, within the picturesque Era Valley of Tuscany, Fattoria Fibbiano is steeped in history and tradition. The estate’s soil, rich with fossil shells and medium-textured corals from the Pliocene epoch, speaks to its ancient origins. This unique terroir is nurtured using only organic, chemical-free substances, ensuring that the land remains as pure and untouched as possible. Perched on a hill, Fattoria Fibbiano benefits from mostly south-facing vineyards, with 2.5 hectares strategically planted facing north to yield sweeter grapes during increasingly common dry periods. The red grape varieties are cultivated at the top of the hill, while the white varieties flourish in the valley below, allowing each to benefit from the best possible growing conditions.

The history of Fattoria Fibbiano is as rich as its wines. The estate dates back to 1707, as evidenced by a carved stone on the foundation of the house. In 1997, Giuseppe Cantoni purchased the farm, and today, his son, Nicola Cantoni, continues the legacy as a winemaker. The estate spans 20 hectares of vineyards, 5 hectares of olive groves, 12 hectares of woodland, and additional arable land, all maintained with a commitment to sustainability.
