Castello di Lucignano
An Estate in the Chianti Classico Region Dedicated to Sangiovese
Castello di Lucignano is situated on a gentle hill in one of the most fascinating landscapes of the Chianti Classico region, surrounded by vineyards, olive groves and forests, only 12 km from the medieval town of Siena. 16 hectares of the Estate's 52 are presently dedicated to grape production. The vineyards have predominantly been planted with the Sangiovese variety and its new clones.
The altitude of the vineyards is 330m. The density of the vines is 4.000 – 5.000 plants / hectare. The winery uses the Guyot-System for trimming. Since 1996, the estate continues to plant new clones of Sangiovese to exploit the great potential of this grape. The vineyards are planted on gently rolling slopes with favorable exposures, where altitude, sunlight, and natural ventilation create ideal conditions for the cultivation of Sangiovese. The soils are predominantly clay and limestone, with rocky components that ensure good drainage and contribute to the structure and longevity of the wines.
In the cellar, tradition and precision work hand in hand. Vinification is carried out with a restrained and thoughtful approach, allowing the purity of the fruit and the identity of Sangiovese to remain at the forefront. Time plays a central role, both in fermentation and aging, ensuring wines that are harmonious and capable of evolving gracefully over the years. Alongside its Chianti Classico wines, Castello di Lucignano also preserves one of Tuscany’s most historic winemaking traditions through the production of Vin Santo. Made from carefully selected grapes dried slowly on racks, this wine represents patience, craftsmanship, and a deep cultural heritage that continues to be passed down from generation to generation.
