Villa Le Barone can organize wine visits and wine tasting at Riseccoli winery (12 km from Villa Le Barone). Villa Le Barone can also organize buying and shipping wine.
The RISECCOLI estate and wines tell a story beginning in the early 20th century when Florentine artist Prof. Romano Romanelli (1882-1969) acquired the land, villas, vines and olive groves in the hills above Greve in Chianti. Coming from a line of artists and mainly known as a member of the Florence Academy of Art, Professor Romanelli had a comparable interest in agriculture and viticulture.
The winery, cellar and tasting room are all located on the grounds of the ancient Romanelli family villa, which is surrounded by rows of tall cypress trees. The vineyards are planted with approximately 10 hectares of the indigenous Sangiovese varietal and small parcels of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot.
