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.

The winery is beautiful and the wines are very special. Great balance, easy to drink but surprising. Clemente was great at explaining us the history of his family, the wine making process and details about the community behind wine making in the Chianti Rufina region. I recommend their tours without a doubt.

Wonderful and unique experience! Sara was incredibly kind and hospitable, she welcomed us and made us feel at home. A very interesting one-hour tour, she managed to transmit to us all the passion and love! Very good and typical dishes and wines. An absolutely must-do experience, we will definitely come back!

Wow - actually really interesting, so much more than a just a wine tasting. It was great to learn so much history about the land and the buildings. The visit to the below ground cellars was definitely the highlight for me. Sara is a wonderful host, speaks excellent English and was ready to answer all questions. Definitely recommend.

A visit to the Travignoli winery is a must. Thanks to Sara who in a very friendly, kind, but at the same time technical way, illustrated and told us in an excellent way the production and the history. The wines tasted... must be tried! Thanks!

The wines were tasty and the winery itself was beautiful! We were lucky to see unpicked grapes and to see active wine process in person! The guide was super nice, we booked it in the last moment for two of us and they did the whole excursion and tasting for only two of us! Truly amazing experience. We also bought the 30-years wine

Wonderful spot. Have to drive but they will give you a spittoon if you want to spit. Nice wines and an even better tour. History goes back 2500 years to the Etruscan era.
