Castello di Lucignano

Estate story

Castello di Lucignano is located in the heart of the Chianti Classico region, in a landscape shaped by centuries of viticulture, olive groves, and woodland.

The estate takes its name from the historic castle that dominates the surrounding hills, a symbol of continuity between the land, its people, and the traditions that define this iconic Tuscan territory.

The vineyards are planted on gently rolling slopes with favorable exposures, where altitude, sunlight, and natural ventilation create ideal conditions for the cultivation of Sangiovese.

The soils are predominantly clay and limestone, with rocky components that ensure good drainage and contribute to the structure and longevity of the wines.

These elements allow the grapes to ripen slowly and evenly, preserving freshness while developing depth and complexity.

At Castello di Lucignano, vineyard work is guided by respect for the natural balance of the environment. Each plot is carefully monitored throughout the growing season, with particular attention paid to yield control and harvest timing.
