Location
Historical Winery is strategically located only 2 km from Panzano in Chianti. Florence is about 35km and Siena 40km, both reached via the Florence-Siena highway or via the Chiantigiana road, one of the most fashionable roads in Chianti, which stretches over 70km of a panoramic landscape dotted with villages, castles, rolling hills and vineyards.
Panzano is a small fraction of the town of Greve in Chianti, modern in appearance but with an old and traditional Tuscan soul, where you can still find ancient streets of the Romanesque period.
The so-called “Panzano Alta” consists of a castle and a village: the first is located in the oldest part of town, the second has two roads that, starting from a small square, continue parallel to the castle.
The “Conca d'Oro”, translated to the “Golden Slopes“ is found in the most recent part of Panzano, characterized by the famous vineyards stretching as far as the eye can see and producing wines of excellent award winning quality, thanks to the excellent sun exposure and soil composition.
In the area there are numerous world famous wineries, such as the “Castle of Rampolla” http://www.castellodeirampolla.it, or the well-known and so called “Estate of the Gods” from the Cavalli family, which is the result of the combination of Father Roberto’s and his son Tommaso’s passion for Tuscany: http://www.deglidei.it/tenuta.php?lang=it.
Equally noteworthy, is the famous old Tuscan butcher Cecchini Dario, known and admired for his T-bone steak: http://www.dariocecchini.com/dariocecchini/en/. His restaurant is a must for those staying in Panzano, known to the point of being attended in the past many times even by actor Jack Nicholson.
