Who we are
About the farm
We farm the Castel Ruggero estate near Antella, about 15 km from Florence; our family, the d’Afflitto family, bought the 16th-century villa and the estate in 1929. Of our 130 hectares, 18 are vineyards (Sangiovese, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Syrah) and the rest olive groves and woodland; we harvest by hand. We produce Chianti Classico DOCG, Chianti Classico Gran Selezione and IGT Toscana red wines as well as Chianti Classico DOP extra virgin olive oil, which you can order in our online shop.

How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
