About Castello di Volpaia Biologico

Wine has been produced in the small border village of Volpaia, between the provinces of Siena and Florence, since the 12th century. The village, considered one of the best-preserved medieval settlements, is devoted entirely to wine. Since 1967, the Stianti Mascheroni family has produced elegant, supple wines with great dedication and expertise—today using organic methods. The vineyards belonging to Castello di Volpaia are situated at 450 to 600 metres above sea level, making Volpaia one of the highest-altitude wineries in the Chianti region. They are so high that the vineyards lie above the fog and frost of spring and autumn.

The Region

Tuscany is probably Italy’s most famous wine-growing region, alongside Piedmont. The Etruscans cultivated vines there long before the Romans, making it one of Europe’s oldest wine-growing areas. Tuscany is known above all—and with justifiable pride—for the world-famous Chianti and Brunello. In fact, however, Tuscany is Italy’s largest producer of top-quality wines. Blessed with abundant sunshine, cooled by sometimes strong sea breezes and still receiving enough rain, Tuscan vines produce outstanding wines on poor limestone, clay and sandstone soils, as well as on various combinations of these, delighting wine lovers around the world.
