The original headquarters, restructured and enlarged, are still the operative centre today. The winery is situated in the borough of Vinci, just 5 kilometres from the birthplace of the world famous artist and inventor Leonardo.
The co-operative takes its name from the great man, paying homage to the mind of the man who was universally recognised as a genius and to emphasise its deep-rooted bond with the territory, the same bond which Leonardo felt and whose surname is specifically associated with the village where he was born on 15 April 1452.
Today, Cantine Leonardo da Vinci is a pioneering co-operative, innovative and modern, which relies on the work and grape production of its 160 members. Read more

| Wine making | The grapes are harvested by hand, placed in small containers and left to dry on straw mats in well-ventilated, dry rooms until the February following the harvest. Drying increases the sugar levels of the grapes to 16% alcohol with a residual sugar content of 90 g/l. The dried grapes are pressed and vinified in the traditional way. |
| Aging | The resulting must is racked into small oak barrels, known as 'caratelli', where it remains for four years to ferment slowly due to the high sugar levels, and where it ages. The caratelli are kept in the vinsantaia, which is subject to extreme changes in temperature during winter and summer. |
