From this winery
  • Start up year: 1996
  • Oenologist: Alessandro Cellai coadiuvato da Erasmo Mazzone
  • Bottles produced: 500.000
  • Hectares: 107
In the late 1990s, the Bolfo family decided to breathe new life into the ruins of an old monastery located in the picturesque countryside of Pievasciata, a picturesque village in the municipality of Castelnuovo Berardenga (Siena). And it is from the vineyards of this monastery, transformed with love and care into the prestigious 5-star Hotel Le Fontanelle, that the story of Vallepicciola begins.

In this 265-hectare property, where centuries-old woods intertwine with more than 4,000 olive trees, 107 hectares of excellent vines are skilfully cultivated, each with its own unique and precious history: Sangiovese, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Chardonnay. Read more
