Description

Castello di Volpaia is one of Tuscany’s most storied and picturesque wine estates, nestled high in the hills of Radda in Chianti within the heart of the Chianti Classico appellation. The estate is uniquely housed within a beautifully preserved medieval village, where centuries-old buildings have been seamlessly integrated into the winemaking process, transforming ancient structures into cellars, fermentation rooms, and barrel halls.

Owned by the Mascheroni Stianti family since 1972, Castello di Volpaia has become a benchmark for elegant, high-altitude Sangiovese and a pioneer in sustainable and organic viticulture. All of the estate’s vineyards are planted at elevations reaching over 600 metres and are certified organic, a rarity in the region. This elevation, combined with the area’s stony, well-draining soils and cooler microclimate, lends the wines remarkable freshness, finesse, and ageing potential.

Under the guidance of Giovanna Stianti Mascheroni and her son Niccolò, Volpaia continues to balance innovation with tradition, crafting wines that reflect the soul of their historic surroundings while embracing the best of modern oenology. From their flagship Chianti Classico and Riserva to their sought-after Gran Selezione and Super Tuscan bottlings, Castello di Volpaia is synonymous with purity, elegance, and an authentic sense of place.
