Who we are
About the farm
Our winery lies in the hamlet of Ama in Gaiole in Chianti, surrounded by about 75 hectares of vineyards at 420–527 metres; from the olive groves on the traditional terraces we also make extra virgin olive oil. We produce Chianti Classico wines (Ama, Montebuoni, San Lorenzo Gran Selezione, Vigneto Bellavista and La Casuccia) as well as L'Apparita Merlot, Pinot Nero, Chardonnay, Vin Santo and grappa. Our enoteca in Villa Pianigiani is open Monday to Saturday from 10 am to 7 pm; we offer cellar tours and tastings by reservation, lunches in the villa, five suites in Villa Ricucci and a contemporary art collection in the hamlet.

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.
