In the heart of Chianti Classico, halfway between Florence and Siena, the small village of Panzano is located. Just below the parish church, 450 meters above sea level, there is Fattoria Le Fonti. The estate covers more than 15 hectares, of which 8 and a half are dedicated to vineyards, and the others to the cultivation of olives.
Le Fonti is a small company that produces about 40,000 bottles per year. The farm has been conducted by the Schmitt–Vitali family since 1994. The entire chain of wine production, from pruning to marketing, is followed by the family, with the help of a few experts and collaborators. The winemaking activity is followed by the oenologist Dr. Stephen Chioccioli.
Since 1994, all the vineyards were replanted with vines selected for our land and our position. The wine cellars have been completely renovated and new technologies have been introduced to produce wines of superior quality. The roots of a great wine are always to be found in the vineyard. We follow a system of sustainable agriculture to preserve a good balance in our land. The relatively small size of the company allows us to follow the company’s production with particular care: only the best grapes arrive in the winery and only the best selections are bottled and commercialized.
