The Story of Tenuta Degli Dei and the Cavalli Family

Tommaso Cavalli's deep connection to his land is rooted in a genuine passion that has flourished at Tenuta Degli Dei, a family estate since the early 1970s. Located in the picturesque village of San Leolino, near Panzano in Chianti, this estate reflects the Cavalli family's dedication to farming, winemaking, and horse breeding—true symbols of Tuscany.

Chianti: A Renowned Wine Region

Chianti is celebrated worldwide, not only for its exceptional wines but also for its breathtaking landscapes where vineyards blend seamlessly with lush woodlands. This iconic region spans approximately 20 kilometers across Florence, Siena, and Arezzo. Tenuta Degli Dei is nestled in the heart of Chianti, surrounded by charming towns and historic sites, including ancient fortifications and quaint parish churches.

Visiting Chianti offers a chance to relax in a serene environment, enjoying the region's culinary delights and fine wines. Each season reveals unique and captivating beauty, making it a year-round destination for wine lovers and travelers alike.

Harvesting and Selection at Tenuta Degli Dei

At Tenuta Degli Dei, the grape harvest is conducted by hand to ensure the highest quality. Once picked, the grapes are transported in refrigerated vans to the winery in Panzano. Here, they undergo a meticulous selection process on two vibrating surfaces—first for the clusters and then for the individual berries. This careful approach allows the winery to utilize only the finest grapes while honoring tradition and looking toward the future.

Great tasting, from the quality of the products to the programming and management of the experience itself! We had a lot of fun and learned a lot. The road to get there is a bit tortuous, but it is absolutely worth it.

As a local resident of Tuscany and someone who has had the pleasure of visiting numerous wineries over the years, I must say that Tenuta degli Dei left an unforgettable impression. Despite my many visits to other prestigious vineyards, this estate stood out with its incredible attention to detail and authenticity. The tour was intimate and well-curated, providing an in-depth look at the winemaking process and the Cavalli family’s passion for combining wine and equestrian excellence. The setting itself is breathtaking, surrounded by the picturesque Tuscan countryside, offering a serene and tranquil atmosphere. What really impressed me was the quality of the wines. Having tasted many local wines over the years, the Cavaliere and Le Redini truly stood out with their richness, depth, and complexity. Every glass told a story, and the pairing with local specialties elevated the experience even further. For those who live in Tuscany or are well-acquainted with the region’s wine culture, Tenuta degli Dei offers something truly unique and refreshing. It’s a must-visit, even for seasoned wine enthusiasts like myself.
