Podere Cianfanelli is a small organic family business. With a long-standing family tradition in the production and sale of grapes, over ten years David Canfanelli has turned this knowledge to the production of organic wine, using ancient grape varieties (Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Colorino and Malvasia Nera) with modern production techniques that respect nature and the environment.
The business is located in the heart of the Chianti Classico region, only 20 km from Florence but already in the heart of the beautiful Tusan hills. From the top of the rise on which it is situated, you can admire on one side the valley that looks towards Florence, and on the other all the Chianti landscape stretching towards Siena.
The cantina includes facilities for vinification and ageing, and a tasting room.
The sunny vineyards are adjacent to the cantina, and may be visited on a guided tour.
THE WINES
The excellent wines of Podere Cianfanelli are the result of a combination of traditional knowledge, modern winemaking techniques, and the desire to make the most of the land.
The Cinafanello Chianti Classico is a pure Sangiovese aged in 10-hectolire oak barrels, which preserves the typical features of the grape giving the wine body, structure and elegance. It pairs well with grilled meats and the typical dishes of Tuscan cuisine.
The IGT wine Ritorno, produced from ancient vines such as Canaiolo, Colorino and Malvasia Nera, is vinified in steel conntainers to keep its freshness, with a scent and taste of red fruits and excellent drinkability.
