  San Casciano in Val di Pesa

  The charm of a farm of ancient origins This winery was founded in the 15th century, owned by the Magaldi family of Florentine merchants. It later became the property of the Hospital of Santa Maria Nuova. In 1479, was entrusted to Antonmaria Gherardini, the father of Lisa, Leonardo da Vinci's famous Mona Lisa. Antonmaria often visited Carobbio, and presumably Lisa herself also stayed there for some time. At the beginning of the 16th century, the estate returned to the Hospital, which continued to lease it as a sharecropper. Toward the end of the 18th century, the winery history became more complicated: with the end of sharecropping and the abandonment of the countryside, the estate began to decline. When it was purchased by Carlo Novarese in 1985, Carobbio was a farmhouse transformed into a refined residential home. From then on, its revival began.

  Panzano in Chianti

  The last winery of the day has a vibrant history. It is a family-run winery that first started its production in 2012, which can be perceived in the lively character specific to young wines. But the history of the estate dates back to the end of the 1800s, when the founder Gualtiero managed to buy the first vineyards in Mercatale Val di Pesa. Upon his death, one of his sons came with a new vision, planted new vineyards, bought new land and a fifteenth-century villa, which became the centerpiece of the property. The estate is located in the area of Chianti Classico Fiorentino and comprises vineyards, olive groves and forests. The varieties of grapes are typical of the territory, such as Sangiovese, Colorino and Canaiolo but also international varieties such as Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine cellars used in the 1400s were renovated to meet the needs of modern winemaking. In addition, a barn dating back to the 18th century has been restructured to serve as a wine cellar.
