The Fattoria Camporignano is a winery situated in the hills of Siena in one of the most enchanting landscapes of Tuscany. It is bordered on one side with the production area of Chianti Classico and on the other with that of Vernaccia di San Gimignano, in the center of the triangle Siena – Volterra – San Gimignano, localities which are distant no more than 30 minutes by car. It consists of 10 hectares of vineyards and a large wine cellar, the Farm is distinguished by a very targeted production and uses systems of high technological level, able to ensure excellent quality parameters.
The Farm has dedicated to the tasting of its wines a particular space on the terrace dominating the winery and overlooking the splendid panorama of the valley below. For large groups, advance notice by telephone is important. Especially if you want to accompany the tasting of wines also with that of other local products.
The Fattoria Camporignano estate and winery produces three red wines: Camporignano, young and soft wine, Mattaione, elegant and varied, bottled after 12 months of aging in oak barrels, and finally Cerronero, a complex and structured wine that has spent 18 months of aging in oak barrels. The type and quality of the wines obtained are the result of a careful study of the technicians of the winery in order to harmonize the optimal characteristics of the vines with the properties of the soil.
The Terre di Siena D.O.P. Oil respects the strict regulations of the Consortium to which the Fattoria Camporignano belongs. The oil has bright green color and presents chromatic changes tending to yellow over time. It has a fruity flavor with hints of bitter and spicy. It is produced in a limited quantity.
Very rich, on the territory, is the presence of the remains of the Etruscan civilization that constitute a fundamental part of the collection of the Archaeological Museum of Casole d’Elsa and the even wider Guarnacci Museum of Volterra. The very ancient via del Sale, built by the Romans to connect the salt marshes of Volterra, Siena, is visible in some places in the middle of the forest Berignone. For a handful of miles from the winery you can retrace the Via Francigena, dotted with churches and abbeys, which in the Early Middle Ages gave hospitality to the pilgrims going to Rome and coming from all over Europe.
