Vallepicciola Chianti Classico DOCG

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.

Made from the purest grapes of the variety that represents Chianti Classico worldwide. A wonderful expression of Sangiovese with great acidity and aromas. The 2021 Chianti Classico was included by Wine Spectator in the prestigious Top 100 of the best wines in the world, ranking 37th .

Vallepicciola is certified VIVA.
