Winery using modern methods to make the Chianti Classico and Super Tuscan wines

Carobbio- Winery Combining History and Tradition with Innovative Techniques

The Carobbio winery is situated in Panzano’s Golden Valley in Chianti, between Siena and Florence, right at the center of a natural amphitheater. The estate has olive groves, green forests, and old vineyards. Carlo Novarese started the restoration of vineyards, land, and the cellar around thirty years ago because of his love for this place. Carrobio winery combines history and tradition with innovative techniques to cultivate their vines and make wines that have great complexity, structure, and taste.Carlo purchased the estate in 1985 and was a fine farmhouse before Carlo started the remodeling.

The Noravese family continues the project and has expanded the vineyards that have allowed them to make unrivaled wines like the Chianti Classico and the Super Tuscans.

Excellent Vineyard Location

The location of the vineyards is excellent. It is surrounded by hills, and the soil here can retain the heat of the sun. Alberese and Galestro soils enable the production of aromatic and elegant wines. Each and every vine is taken care of by the staff, and the most advanced farming methods are used here. There is a low yield of grapes but of high quality. Local grape varietals like Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Blanc, Malvasia, and Trebbiano grow here.

Wines Reflecting their Famous Chianti Terroir

The harvest takes place manually, and only the best grapes are chosen to make their red, white, rose, and dessert wines. The wines take a long time of maturing in the Slavonian oak barrels and then the bottle, but the results are great. The wines reflect their hard work and the qualities of the famous Chianti terroir.

Best Experience I had in Italy!

In English and Italian: This was truly an amazing experience for me! I had an early wine tasting, so it was just a 1 on 1 with Christina. It was more intimate than any other tasting I have ever done. It felt more like a friendly conversation than a tour. Christina was so knowledgeable and answered all of my questions (and I had a lot!) with such delight. I will be making this a must-do every time I return to Italy. Do not miss out! Amazing price, amazing wines, amazing experience, and amazing people! Each wine was more tasty than the previous one. Thank you! Questa è stata davvero un'esperienza straordinaria per me! Ho avuto una prima degustazione di vini, quindi è stato solo un 1 contro 1 con Christina. È stato più intimo di qualsiasi altra degustazione che abbia mai fatto. Sembrava più una conversazione amichevole che un tour. Christina era così ben informata e ha risposto a tutte le mie domande (e ne ho avute molte!) Con tanta gioia. Lo renderò un must ogni volta che torno in Italia. Non perdere! Prezzo incredibile, vini fantastici, esperienza straordinaria e persone fantastiche! Ogni vino era più gustoso del precedente. Grazie!
