Producer details

1. Location: The estate is in the heart of the Chianti Classico region, between Florence and Siena, with vineyards on a hillside in Greve.
2. History: The Verrazzano estate dates back to the 12th century. The explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano, who discovered New York Bay, was born here in 1485. Since 1958, the Cappellini family has owned and restored the castle and vineyards, which now include 105 acres under vine.
3. Viticulture: The vineyards are farmed organically, with certification since the 2014 vintage. The limestone-rich soil and cooler microclimate contribute to the wine's distinctive character.
