Tuscany - Siena - Radda in Chianti
Chianti, nestled in the heart of Tuscany, is one of Italy's most iconic regions, renowned for its rolling hills, ancient vineyards, and world-class wines. Stretching between Florence and Siena, the Chianti area is characterized by its breathtaking landscape of olive groves, medieval villages, and cypress-lined roads, embodying the quintessential image of Tuscany.
At the heart of Chianti’s identity is its wine. The Chianti Classico, made predominantly from the Sangiovese grape, is among Italy’s most famous red wines. Recognizable by the black rooster (gallo nero) symbol on its label, Chianti Classico is known for its balance of boldness and elegance, offering flavors of ripe cherries, earthy undertones, and subtle hints of spices. Vineyards throughout the region produce wines that reflect the unique terroir of Chianti’s sun-drenched hills and rich soil, and wine lovers can visit historic estates to sample vintages, explore cellars, and learn about centuries-old winemaking traditions.
Chianti’s landscape is dotted with charming villages like Greve, Radda, and Castellina, each offering a unique experience. Greve in Chianti serves as the unofficial gateway to the region and hosts one of the most famous wine festivals, the Rassegna del Chianti Classico, where local producers showcase their best wines. Radda and Castellina, perched on hilltops, are steeped in medieval history, with cobblestone streets, ancient fortifications, and views over the surrounding vineyards.
Beyond wine, Chianti is rich in culture and history. Many of its towns and estates were strategic points during the Middle Ages, and castles like Castello di Brolio not only offer insight into the region’s past but also produce some of the finest wines. The surrounding landscape, with its patchwork of vineyards, olive groves, and forests, is perfect for leisurely drives, bike rides, or even hiking trails that lead through historic paths and offer panoramic views.
Chianti’s charm also lies in its intimate connection with nature. The vineyards, which change with the seasons from lush green in the summer to golden and red hues in the autumn, create a serene and idyllic setting. Olive groves produce some of Tuscany’s finest extra virgin olive oil, another hallmark of the region’s agricultural tradition.
In every glass of wine and every vista across the hills, Chianti embodies the very essence of Tuscany. Its blend of rich history, cultural heritage, and natural beauty, combined with its exceptional wines, makes it a destination that offers both sensory and scenic delights. Whether exploring its historic villages or savoring its renowned wines, Chianti invites visitors to experience the best of Tuscany’s rural soul.

ContactHISTORY OF THE PROPERTY
In this wine estate there was a Roman-Etruscan settlement. The estate is first mentioned as a castle (or, more probably, a fortified villa) in a document dated 1033 AD. In the 15th century the villa belonged to the noble Cecchini family from Panzano and in their hands it remained until 1621 when it was bought by one Giannozzo Cepparello. In the following two centuries, the property went first to the Pianigiani family, then Strozzi. In 1895, the estate is registered among the possessions of Baron Giorgio Sonnino, brother of the most famous Italian minister Sydney Sonnino.
The villa in its current shape and look dates back to the early 18th century. In the 19th century the villa was purchased by the Strozzi family, historical enemy of the Medici family. In that period, the estate was composed of various farmhouses and it was already famous for the quality of its wines.
The magnificent façade was rebuilt between 1914 and 1919 by a Florentine architect, who, in addition to new and rich decorations, built a double staircase. The façade is composed of a main upper level and two side levels, and it features a wide gable-end with a large frame and clock. Internally, there is the original terracotta floor and in a lot of rooms you can still see the ancient ceilings with wooden beams.
Both the villa and the chapel are protected by the Regional Board of the Ministry of Cultural Heritage.
