Produced with grapes from the youngest of our vineyards, as well as from those areas of our established vineyards which are generally more fertile, resulting in abundant productions. Sangiovese is by far the main grape variety, but there are sometimes also small percentages of Canaiolo, Syrah and Merlot. It is processed so as to preserve the fruit structure and freshness as much as possible.
In the late 80s Gabriele Buondonno and his wife Valeria bought 20 hectares of land, of which 8 of vines. The rest is used for wood, farming and growing olive trees. Located in the beautiful Castellina in Chianti, between Florence and Siena, their "Podere" Casavecchia alla Piazza goes back to the 1500s and was apparently home to nonetheless than Michelangelo Buonarroti’s family. They began producing biodynamically pretty much straight away, and obtained their first recognition in 1989. At 400/450 meters above sea level, the vineyards are high, and the land has much clay and limestone.
