Winery history
The abbey is documented from at least 891 and passed to the Vallombrosan order in 1049, an order also devoted to viticulture. The area’s winegrowing history is evidenced by historical records and the discovery of a thousand-year-old vine on the surrounding land in 1983.
Production philosophy
The estate combines a strong connection to its territory and traditions with a pursuit of quality. Its vineyards are planted mainly with Sangiovese, and the historic cellars beneath the abbey are used for ageing.
Terroir and vineyards
The estate lies above Sambuca Val di Pesa, in the heart of Chianti Classico. It covers 223 hectares, including 65 hectares of vineyards, at approximately 250–300 metres above sea level; the soils are predominantly calcareous.
