The property of the Mazzei family since 1435, Fonterutoli still
preserves its original aspect of a tranquil country hamlet, consisting
of a few houses, the Church of San Miniato and a villa that replaced the
fortified castle of the Middle Ages. Fonterutoli is a well-structured and
complex estate with a great character and tradition. It is generally
regarded as one of the most important properties in the Chianti Classico
zone and in Italy, an estate projected towards the future which is always
seeking new quality frontiers. Because of its location, Fonterutoli represents
an ideal jumping-off point for expeditions to explore the cultural and
tourist attractions of the authentic Chianti Classico zone.

The Tenuta Torciano has been producing Tuscan Wine since 1720 on
the hills around the town of San Gimignano - Siena. Base of a small
Etruscan village dating from the Hellenistic period, its history
started around the 10th century on a hill 334 meters above sea level
surrounded by a beautiful landscape, dominating the River Elsa Valley.
San Gimignano is a City of uncommon beauty, with its proud towers, shining in the
sky like a star, surrounded by green hills. This historic village offers an exquisite
cultural experience and of course the Torciano's products: Chianti and Chianti Classico,
Vernaccia of San Gimignano, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and Brunello of Montalcino.
