Castello Di Verrazzano

About

Castello di Verrazzano is a family‑owned castle and vineyard nestled in the heart of the Chianti Classico region, near the historic towns of Florence and Siena. The 230‑hectare estate boasts 52 hectares of vineyards planted with Sangiovese, Merlot, Canaiolo, and more, all nurtured with organic practices. Visitors can stroll through the romantic grounds, learn about the traditional ‘cordone’ training system, and taste the estate’s award‑winning wines produced from grapes harvested entirely by hand. The castle’s 16th‑century wine cellar, accessible via guided tours, offers a sensory journey through age‑old oak barrels and the rich aroma of fine Chianti. Guests can join a guided tasting, explore the cellar’s history, and learn about the winemaking process, from grape selection to aging in Slavonian oak barrels. The estate also hosts an agritourism experience where you can combine wine tasting with a stay in charming rooms overlooking the vineyards.
