A Fusion of Tradition and Modern Winemaking in Tuscany
Cantina Storica dal 1080
Villa Travignoli, located in the Chianti Rufina region of Tuscany, has a rich history dating back to 1080. Nestled 25 kilometers east of Florence at the confluence of the Arno and Sieve rivers, this winery boasts 90 hectares of land, with 60 hectares dedicated to vineyards. The primary grape variety cultivated here is Sangiovese, complemented by Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Chardonnay. The vineyards benefit from a southern exposure, limestone soils, and an altitude ranging from 250 to 400 meters above sea level, which aids in grape maturation while preventing stagnation and humidity. Additionally, the nearby Apennines provide optimal cooling and ventilation during warm summer nights.
Villa Travignoli and Its Renowned Chianti Rufina
The winemaking process at Villa Travignoli emphasizes freshness, with fermentation occurring in stainless steel tanks for both Chardonnay and Sangiovese. For aging, the winery utilizes wooden barrels for reserve wines, while the Calice del Conte IGT, crafted from Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, is aged in barriques. Producing around 400,000 bottles annually, the majority of which are Chianti Rufina, the wines are known for their smooth, fruity, and fresh characteristics, typically released one year after harvest.
Family, Tradition, and Innovation
Since the late 1800s, Villa Travignoli has been part of the Busi family, where tradition and innovation play a crucial role in crafting exceptional wines. The winery features a 16th-century cellar with vaulted ceilings, providing ideal conditions for wine storage while connecting the wines to their historical roots.
