Winery Colombaio di Cencio

The estate began as a wine estate following the restoration of a farmhouse. According to the official website, it was launched in 1993 by an entrepreneur drawn to the hills of Gaiole in Chianti. Over time the winery established its identity in Chianti Classico and also distinguished itself with Toscana IGT wines. In 2018 the estate was acquired by the Fontanafredda group, which relaunched its production and communication project.

The winery adopts an approach that combines tradition and modernity, guided by values of purity, passion and classicism, with attention to sustainable agricultural practices. It presents itself as a promoter of the territory’s beauty through its wines.

The vineyards are located in the municipality of Gaiole in Chianti. The soils are described as very stony, with compact limestone over a sandstone base; the vineyards lie at elevations between 280 and 480 metres and are divided among the localities Cornia, Montelodoli and Vinci.

The winery and some of its wines have received recognition from specialist guides and publications.
