The name indicates a locality that has been called this way for centuries. The current owners of the estate took ownership at the beginning of the 90s and re-planted new vineyards in order to improve the quality of the wines. They restructured and expanded the cellar, renovated the machinery, diversified the production, renovated the old farmhouse following an eco-sustainable logic, realized a photovoltaic system that produces 100% of the energy. Today Le Cinciole is a modern and dynamic farm, 100% sustainable. The farm covers 30 hectares; ten hectares are destined for specialized vineyards, while a surface with about 1000 plants is destined for the cultivation of the olive tree. There are used only organic soil improvers and compost generated by the natural fermentation of pruning residues.

Stop At: Savignola Paolina, Localita Petriolo 58, 50022, Greve in Chianti Italy
Savignola is a boutique winery, located in the heart of Chianti Classico since 1780, with a vineyard area of 5 hectares and an annual production of about 22,000 bottles. Savignola, whose name has Etruscan origins, was regarded as a Christian settlement and was built around the first half of the 17th century. Marked by an all-female history, it is considered one of the historic companies of the area thanks to the figure of Paolina, who was the first woman to bottle her Riserva in a Bordeaux style bottle. She brought innovation to the historical tradition of Chianti Classico. The ancient barrel cellar of the estate dates back to the 1500s where tradition and innovation come together in the production of their wine. The terroir is made up of deep clay and chalky soil and requires rigorous work to create the perfect conditions for obtaining rich, intense and long-lived wines.
