History and Heritage

Buccelletti Casali & Cantina traces its roots to the 1600s, when the family acquired the estate in Tuscany's Val di Chio. Lovingly restored historic farmhouses, a 1625 family chapel, and an old mill stand as testaments to centuries of winemaking and olive cultivation. The women-led operation honors traditions while embracing quality production, converting to organic viticulture on galestro soils at 300 meters elevation.

Vineyards and Wines

Six hectares of high-density vineyards (6000 plants per hectare) yield Sangiovese, Merlot, Syrah, Canaiolo, Aleatico, Vermentino, Trebbiano, and Grechetto grapes. The cantina crafts IGT and DOC whites, reds, rosés, passitos, vinsanto, grappas, and brandy. Standouts include robust Merlot blends, fresh Sangiovese, elegant Syrah-Sangiovese, and rare Aleatico passito. Crisp whites boast acacia notes, while reds offer berry, spice, and longevity. Olive groves produce premium extra-virgin oil from hand-harvested Moraiolo, Frantoio, and Leccino.
