Il Classico Winery: Organic Medieval Village with Chianti Classico DOCG Gran Selezione and 135 Hectares - Castellina in Chianti, Siena - Tuscany RIF. CNT311 A millennial village in the heart of Chianti Classico On the hills of Castellina in Chianti, at altitudes between 250 and 550 metres, lies one of the most complete and fascinating organic wineries in Tuscany: 135.6 hectares of land, an 11th-century stone village, and an avant-garde cellar that holds forty years of dedication to quality. The vineyard and production On 33.3 hectares of planted vines — of which 15.3 ha are Chianti Classico DOCG and 18.0 ha are Toscana IGT — Sangiovese, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chardonnay are cultivated, all trained using the cordon de boyage method. Since 2009, the winery has been certified organic. Annual production stands at approximately 75,000 bottles — 75% of which are distributed to foreign markets — with a potential of up to 200,000 bottles, divided into four labels: Chianti Classico DOCG, Chianti Classico DOCG Gran Selezione, Toscana Rosso IGT, and Toscana Bianco IGT. Completing the offering is a fine production of certified DOP organic extra virgin olive oil from 4.7 hectares of olivar with Correggiolo, Moraiolo, and Leccino cultivars, with an annual yield of up to 2,100 kg. The winemaking and ageing cellar covers 2,077 sqm: colonnades, arches, and high vaulted ceilings merge with latest-generation oenological technologies. The village and the manor villa The first core of the complex is the medieval village from the 11th century, skillfully restored into holiday apartments and a manor villa. The 1,228 sqm manor villa is arranged over three levels with a living room with fireplace, studies, rooms, 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms on the main floor, an independent apartment, and further residential rooms on the upper floor. A second building houses an additional dwelling unit with 3 bedrooms, a tasting room, and a vinsantaia. The second business core — including offices, cellar, and tasting rooms — welcomes visitors with the authentic charm of brickwork and historic vaults. The land also includes 47.4 ha of arable land suitable for new vineyards and 48.2 ha of woodland, with only 200 m of white road from the entrance.
