Cafaggio wine estate

Situated in the hamlet of Greve in Chianti, in Panzano, the estate is nestled in the ‘Conca d’Oro’ (Golden basin), an area recognised as the finest zone for producing Chianti Classico. The first document attesting its existence dates back to 1408. Records indicate that in the late fifteenth century the property was owned by the Benedictine monks of Siena. Before the end of the modern age the estate was sold to the Florentine Hospital of Santa Maria Nuova, and records show that, even at that time, the farm produced a great variety of food products, including wine and oil.

Villa Cafaggio covers approximately 60 hectares, of which 30 are cultivated as specialised vineyards and about 3 as olive groves. The remaining area is woodland.
