Organic Winemakers Crafting Unique Wines and Olive Oil in Tuscany

Welcome to Castello La Leccia

With roots tracing back to 1077, Castello La Leccia is steeped in history. In the 15th century, it was under the influence of the Ricasoli family, serving as a stronghold during the conflicts between Florence and Siena. By the 18th century, the castle transformed into a manor house, providing a home for around 70 residents.

Today, Castello La Leccia operates as an organic farm, where we nurture the land with love and dedication. We are not just a hotel; we are a family eager to share our passion for this beautiful Tuscan region with our guests.

Organic Vineyard Practices

At Castello La Leccia, we prioritize the natural balance of our ecosystem. We minimize the use of copper and sulfur for plant health, opting instead for natural resistance methods. Our vineyards benefit from cover crops like barley and clover, and we enrich the soil with compost made from grape pomace. This approach enhances the unique terroir, allowing our vines to thrive.

Our vineyards are strategically located at altitudes between 300 and 500 meters, with southern and southwestern exposure. The clay-rich, limestone soils contribute to the complexity and elegance of our Sangiovese grapes.

Our Cellar and Wines

Each vineyard's grapes are harvested and processed separately. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks using indigenous yeasts, followed by malolactic fermentation in cement or wooden containers. We carefully blend our Chianti Classico and Chianti Classico Riserva wines, drawing from four distinct vineyards to highlight their unique characteristics.

The Bruciagna vineyard consistently produces exceptional Sangiovese, forming the basis of our “Gran Selezione” wine, which matures for a minimum of three years in wood and cement. Additionally, our IGT red wine "Vivaio del Cavaliere" features a blend of younger Sangiovese grapes with Malvasia Nera, Syrah, and Ciliegiolo.

Join us at Castello La Leccia to experience the rich history, organic practices, and exceptional wines that define our estate in the heart of Tuscany.
