the ancient grignanello farm stands on a hill in a privileged position between the municipalities of panzano and castellina in chianti- the property consists of ten hectares of old vineyards, mostly dating back to the early sixties - a thousand olive trees - twenty hectares of arable land partially cultivated with wheat, barley, twenty hectares of woodland and a lake- two main bodies constitute the central structure of the village and delimit an area in the center of which is the ancient consecrated church - the building recovery is was done with particular attention to the use of natural or recycled materials - the homes are heated with wood solutions simple and efficient - particular care has been taken in the insulation of walls and roofs - all interventions are designed and carried out by us- we try to respect our lands by not using herbicides, chemicals or other poisons-
we produce red wine - white wine - vin santo - olive oil - grappa - barley - spelled- even if our wine meets the requirements required by the classification that certifies quality products, we have chosen not to bind ourselves to a specification that would have conditioned both in the aging phase and in the subsequent bottling phase- our red sangiovese, canaiolo, cabernet, malvasia, trebbiano and colorino grapes are vinified, macerated and aged in terracotta amphorae, jars and jars-
the choice to use a cardboard package was suggested by its functional characteristics - absence of oxygen in contact with the wine - protection from light and heat, low environmental impact, being able to drink even just one glass while maintaining the organoleptic characteristics unaltered of the wine even a month after its opening- the choice of the bottle, of a particular type of cap, of a unique label, entirely designed by us, everything follows our philosophy: -s- the wine - i oil the renovation of the village - everything was born from a strong need to get closer to the land and its products - to return to living in small communities, recovering values from too long ago time wasted like sharing-

history and its unique products-
the grignanello farm (now included in the municipality of castellina in chianti) belonged, in the 18th century, to the podesty of radda and depended on the pieve of santa maria a grignano- from a map written by the carte dei capitani di parte guelfa it is possible see the farm, symbolically represented by a rural house and bearing the writing -place of franciesco galilei-, while below the church of santa maria appears in those forms that it probably still maintained at the end of the 16th century when, in fact, maps were drawn- the property, as it still is, covered the top of a 400 m high hill; approximately at the 26th km- of the road chiantigiana state road- the land, therefore, with its 122 stioras covers a surface area slightly larger than the average of tuscan farms in the 18th century which imberciadori judges to be 80 ˜ 100 hectares of land, but if we consider the wooded part and the stony part, and therefore poorly cultivable, we can include grignanello in the typical landholding of the tuscan hilly area-
