Description
“Tradition is a feature of the soul and does not constitute a straitjacket”. Producing technically perfect wines maintaining an individual profil and conserving its proper soul, is the golden rule which inspires the estate Castello di Cacchiano. Under the direction of Giovanni Ricasoli-Firidolfi whose forefathers did not only “create” Chianti Classico wines but also Prosecco and Vernaccia, the company puts great attention to save both the inimitable characteristics of the autochthonous grape varieties (especially Sangiovese and Canaiolo) and the strong terroir imprint of the area of Monti in Chianti. All this occurs, obviously, in plain respect of the continuous agricultural, enological, and technological improvements. Wine production is basically concentrated on Chianti Classico (one per vintage), backed by limited quantities of Vin Santo and of a young red table wine. 4,700 olive trees, mainly ubicated on the terraced slopes around the castle, supply the precious material for the famous Olio Chianti Classico DOP.Vineyards altitude (m): 400
