The soul and the heart of Vallepicciola reside in the ancient lands of the Chianti Classico, places with a mild microclimate and incomparable charm of Castelnuovo Berardenga, Siena. The company covers 265 hectares of which 65 hectares of vines and another 40 that will be planted by 2019 (in 2021 the number of hectares under vine is 105), hosting the traditional Sangiovese, mainly intended for the production of Chianti Classico, in addition to international grape varieties such as Pinot Nero, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Chardonnay.

Our vineyards, distributed on the hilly territories to the left of the river Arbia, have been carefully selected according to the composition of the soils and areas alternating amalgams of clays, calcareous marl, bluish marl, tuff, sandstone and sand. And this is the strongest plus of our company: great variability of soils which makes stimulating the potential diversification that can be drawn from it. Read more
