ESTATE
Villa Calcinaia is situated in the center of Chianti Classico near the town
of Greve-in-Chianti. This historic estate has been home to the Counts
Capponi since 1524 and is maintained by Sebastiano Capponi. Calcinaia is
the heart of the Capponi family, and each generation gives new life to
the fields, woods, vineyards and cellars. These wines express the family’s
love for their land; with every vintage they share the hopes, worries,
pride and care that come with making honest wines. Organic farming is
the standard at Villa Calcinaia where 75 acres of vineyard are planted.
The Villa Calcinaia philosophy has always been: “Love for the land,
respect for tradition, and the rightful pride in bearing the name of
Capponi.”
