About Winery and Wines

The history of Travignoli is connected to wine production since 1100 when Vallembrosan records describe vineyards already under cultivation at the site. In 1473 Travignoli was left to the Florentine Hospital Santa Maria Nuova and it is described as the most important of the hospital properties. Then, in 1800 Villa Travignoli became part of the Busi estate and it is still run today by the family, with passion and innovation.

Villa Travignoli is situated in the north-east of the Chianti production area in the idyllic region of Tuscany, 25 kilometers east of Florence at the meeting of the Arno and Sieve rivers, in the Chianti Rufina region, where it enjoys a southern exposure, calcareous soils and an altitude ranging from 250 to 400 meters above sea level. Here they cultivate 70 hectares of specialized vineyards on the 90-hectare estate, primarily focusing on Sangiovese but also including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Chardonnay, on top of producing extra virgin olive oil from their olive trees.

At Travignoli, the crafting of superb wines is rooted in a blend of tradition and innovation. The fermentation and vinification processes are carried out in steel tanks, which help to preserve the freshness and vibrant flavors of both white and red wines. This modern approach is complemented by the historical setting of the winery's 16th-century cellar, with its vaulted ceiling. The cellar not only ensures that the wines are aged under ideal conditions but also maintains a connection to the rich winemaking traditions that have been part of the estate's heritage for centuries.
