During the Chianti tastings , we share the fascinating history of Panzanello, which dates back to 1427. We tell how Franciesco Ciucci D'Ugolino introduced innovative grape selection techniques in 1436, laying the foundation for the quality that still characterizes our wines today. In 1964, Anna Maria Sommaruga purchased the property, transforming a farmhouse into the current villa. Since 1994, her grandson Andrea, together with his wife Ioletta, has continued this legacy, expanding the estate from 30 to 90 hectares and reaching an annual production of over 50,000 bottles. During the visit to the winery , you will be able to admire the unique terroir of Chianti Classico and learn about our commitment to organic farming, which we have practiced since 1998. The tasting is also an opportunity to explore the benefits of our Raccolta Tappi loyalty program and Wine Club .
