The best wineries in Toscana.
La Piana organic farm is located on the island of Capraia, inside the Tuscan Archipelago National Park. The area to which it belongs, called Il Piano S. Stefano, is a magical and pristine place where aromas, sounds, traditions and colors blend with ancient flavors and knowledge, where time seems to stand still. It can be reached within walking distance from the village, taking the local road with a traffic light, a journey of 20 minutes.
Here lived in different eras: Romans, anachorites, and Saracens with their raids, due to to the generosity of these soils, the only flat soils of the island, able to provide everything necessary for their own subsistence. In the last century, the area was leased out to the penal colony and the prisoners worked this land until the disposal of the prison.
In 2000, when the Mediterranean maquis threatened to overwhelm everything, a careful and difficult environmental restoration of the area began, that reported these places to their original splendor, giving back to our eyes an ancient territory of outstanding beauty. The landscape, guarded by the presence of the farm labor, designed by the discontinuity of the rows of vines in the Mediterranean maquis, terraces, stone walls, ancient cisterns, native and ornamental species such as oleander, rosemary, old rose. A perfect integration among agriculture of quality, environmental protection and historical memory.

Badia a Coltibuono or the abbey of the good harvest, was founded by the monks of Vallombrosa about a thousand years ago, as a place of worship and meditation. In 1051, the monks of the Vallombrosa order began to build the monastery of the Good Harvest planting at the same time the first vines in this area.
In the fifteenth century Coltibuono experienced a further development under the patronage of Lorenzo de’ Medici. In 1810, under the Napoleonic rule, the monks were forced to leave Coltibuono. In the following years, the property was first sold through a lottery, and in 1846 and was bought by Michele Giuntini, Florentine banker and ancestor of the present owners.
Under the guidance of Piero Stucchi Prinetti, the farm was transformed into a company establishing itself in Italy and abroad. Today, his children Emanuela, Paolo and Guido continue the work undertaken by their ancestors more than a century ago.
Located in one of the areas of noblest winemaking vocation, Azienda Montepeloso, founded in 1999, owns 7 hectares of vineyards planted with vines and produces great wines, that have already obtained some prestigious recognitions.
The Querciabella farm was founded in the far 1974 by Giuseppe Castiglioni. We are in the heart of Chianti, all here is done in harmony with nature. For some years they are proceeding with the conversion to bio–dynamic cultivation, and for the winery only certified French wood barrels were purchased (for each keg the replanting of various oaks is planned). The rows, kissed by the sun, thanks to a wonderful southern exposure, arrive even to 490 meters above sea level, which gives great complexity and aromas to the wines.
The wines of Querciabella are very rich and full–bodied, but more elegant than powerful. Of course, given the location of the estate, it is the prince among the rows of Sangiovese, in some cases accompanied by local grape varieties such as Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, but always respecting the terroir. This use of international varieties is given by the great love of Pepito Castiglioni for France. A feeling of admiration which, of course, also Sebastiano has, and that led him to maintain the very high quality of the wines produced by Querciabella.
The San Giuseppe Farm is composed of more or less 15 hectares of woods, olive groves of 1920 and vines (about 6 hectares).
Each of the six vineyards can be considered a small Cru with its own personality and its own character: which is then harvested and vinified separately and individually deposited in one or more tanks. Therefore, vines are treated with attention, to preserve the ecosystem that surrounds the vineyards and the Company. The results are healthy, strong and tasty grapes, expressions of each vintage, which give different wines over the years, closely related to our land.
Our company is certified ORGANIC (BIO) since 1996 and has been applying biodynamic methods since 2002.
The origin of the "Le Chiuse" company is very old. It was part of the estate of the Biondi Santi family: it was brought as a dowry in the late eighteenth century by Maria Tamanti when she married Clemente Santi. Her daughter Caterina married Jacopo Biondi and their son Ferruccio, great–grandfather of Simonetta Valiani, respecting the wishes of her mother, added the "Santi" mother surname to his. It was him who, after having fought alongside Garibaldi, continued the work of his grandfather Clemente valuing and selecting the grapes to reach this particular clone of Sangiovese (Grosso).

The farm, which now comprises 47 hectares of Greppo and 105 of the Pieri, has a cultivated area of specialized vineyards of Sangiovese Grosso of 25 hectares, of which about 5 of older plants (from 1930 to 1972) and 8 hectares of old plants (1988/89) and 6 hectares of recently planted vines (2000/2001) and 6 hectares of very recent plants (from 2004 to 2006).
Too fertile soils are rejected, preferring the marly and rich in texture ones, with exposure to the South, Southeast, East, Northeast and North. The remaining land is cultivated with olive groves, arable land and forests.
The plantation of the very old vineyards is m. 3 x 1.50, to say, 2,222 vines per hectare: that of vineyards planted at the end of the 80s of m. 2.60 x 1.30 x 2 vines for each location, or 5,900 vines per hectare, from the 90s onwards the plantation system has been m. 2.60 x 85, and this means 4,500 vines per hectare.
The system of cultivation is espalier with a horizontal spurred cordon, 25/35,000 buds per hectare. The cultivation of the vineyard are carried out with great care by a highly skilled workforce.
The two most important are: the thinning of the grapes prior to coloring and manual selection of grapes at harvest, devoting to the production of Brunello di Montalcino only the best.

When Giorgio Bianchi, in 1974, sold his house in Milan, left his secure job and moved to Val delle Corti, the farm had been abandoned for years. The fields were overgrown with brambles, the dry stone walls of the terraces had collapsed, olive trees had grown wild. His was a risky bet, at a time when going to live in the country was not yet a trend and the future of Chianti Classico was extremely uncertain.
During long years of passionate work, aided by the invaluable advice of the neighbors – farmers for generations – and supported by his indefatigable wife Eli, Giorgio managed to learn the difficult art of viticulture and to revive Val delle Corti, making of it a small farming model. At the passing of George, which took place early in 1999, the company was handed down to his son Roberto and his wife Lis. Today, the four hectares of vineyards – recently re–planted with Sangiovese and other native red grape varieties – are producing Chianti Classico and a Reserve with great typicality, character and finesse. Wine is aged in Slavonian oak barrels in the small but modern winery, while from the two hectares of specialized olive groves, a highly pure extra virgin olive oil with a very low acidity comes. Val delle Corti also produces a small amount of Vin Santo, the traditional dessert wine, and Grappa of Chianti Classico.
