The story
The estate, located in the Il Becco locality of Radda in Chianti, became part of the Gussalli Beretta family's project in the early 2000s: the acquisition and the subsequent production and facilities relaunch are reported to have taken place in 2003. After the vineyards were restored, a large, mostly underground winery was built, integrated into the local landscape. Today Castello di Radda is part of the Agricole Gussalli Beretta group.
Production philosophy
The estate prioritizes careful agronomic management and a reduced environmental impact: landscape conservation, waste reduction, and low-energy practices. From vineyard to cellar, the approach focuses on meticulous grape selection and winemaking that highlights the terroir.

The 'Il Corno' vineyard mentioned by the estate covers a substantial area at about 400 m a.s.l.
