Going back to its very beginnings in the 5th and 6th centuries AD, Farnetella was located in an elevated location, known as Castelvecchio, above the current village, where an ancient castle also rose. In the Late Middle Ages, the Conti della Berardenga, a noble family with origins in France, held sway.
They exhibited more interest than did the Lombards in ensuring open communication links with Rome, and perhaps inspired establishment of the Via Francigena. During the most intense historical vicissitudes of the Republic of Siena (1200- 1500), the unique position of Farnetella, on the boundary of the territory it administered, contributed to not a few problems for its inhabitants, who often extended, or more probably were forced to extend, sanctuary to exiles of the opposing political side.
The toponym Farnetella derives from farnia, the English oak (Quecus robur), which grows in great profusion at Farnetella, particularly at Castelvecchio. The coat-of-arms of both the village and the winery display this oak, against a red background; it symbolises strength and longevity.
In 1981 Castello di Farnetella was purchased by the Poggiali family, owner of the Fèlsina farm in Castelnuovo Berardenga. Read more
