The Fattoria di Galognano is located about 250m above sea level on the hills south of the Valdelsa, in the immediate vicinity of the Chianti Classico wine area, characterized by gentle hills, with clayey silt soils, with a limestone tendency deriving from marine sediments.

 

Erika Ciappelli is the young and strong female producer that runs the vinery. Her father was the first to personally lead the company as a direct farmer but after he died in 2013, Erika has taken over the estate, revolutionizing various aspects and converting it too organic.

 

The vineyards are managed in a natural way, making use of very few phytosanitary products, and trying to use above all-natural products, the processing is minimal.

 

The same goes for the cellar.

 

The company's vineyards are largely dating back to the 70s. Only a small part date back to 2003, 2013-2014. So, the main feature is the small quantity of grapes produced, but the quality is constant over the years. They are vineyards, the older ones that do not require much from a nutritional point of view, are now stable in their small and excellent productions.

 

Another characteristic of the cellar is the lack of temperature control, and the alcoholic fermentations are all spontaneous, as well as the malolactic ones.
