Fattoria Lavacchio

Situated atop Montefiesole at 450 meters above sea level, this boutique winery offers a glimpse into the heart of Chianti Rufina’s countryside. Established in the 1700s by the Peruzzi family, the estate later passed to the Lottero family from Genoa. The family undertook extensive restoration, replanting vineyards and olive groves and refurbishing the villas. Today, it remains a quintessential Tuscan family-run business, harmonizing all practices with nature. As the first winery in Chianti Rufina to adopt organic production, they produce wine, olive oil, wheat, fruits, and vegetables, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern biodynamic techniques. A centuries-old cedar of Lebanon, symbolizing strength and longevity, stands proudly on the estate, along with a restored 19th-century windmill, adding to the winery's historic charm. You will enjoy lunch and a wine tasting on the terrace of the farm’s restaurant, overlooking the breathtaking Tuscan landscape.

Tenuta di Bossi

Since 1992, the Lippi and Santoni families have dedicated themselves to the production of wine and oil, in full respect of nature and territory. Always organic, both the wines and the oil have been certified since 1999. They are between 300 and 500 meters, where the climatic characteristics of Chianti Rufina area are extreme. Here artisan wines are born followed by the vineyard to the cellar by the bottle. Important archaeological finds testify to the cultivation of vines on this soil already at the time of the Etruscans. This winery is always full of surprises. The craftsmanship follows the nature and inclinations of the highest Chianti Rufina. Walking always with the tradition of Sangiovese, in time it has been enriched by lucky encounters between the earth and a selection of classical vine varieties. Without forgetting the olive groves that grow side by side with the vineyards.
