In the late 1990s, the Bolfo family decided to breathe new life into the ruins of an old convent located in the charming countryside of Pievasciata, a picturesque village in the municipality of Castelnuovo Berardenga (Siena). And it was from the vineyards of this monastery, lovingly and carefully transformed into the prestigious 5-star Hotel Le Fontanelle, that the story of Vallepicciola began.
A harmonious blend of three varietals: Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc, Pievasciata is a full-bodied and intense, yet simple to drink.
Vallepicciola is certified VIVA.
