Winemaking mastery meets divine heritage
Winemaking mastery meets divine heritage
Santedame in Castellina in Chianti is home to stunning wines. The blessed land yields pure liquid gold. Thriving on south-facing slopes of the Conca d'Oro, our vines produce top-caliber grapes. Quality prevails in our 70 hectares of vines, enriched with galestro for stellar minerality and finesse. Temperature fluctuations work their magic: cool nights, hot days – a recipe for top-notch wines. The estate's history dates back to the fifteenth century, named after the Santedame Chapel. A holy lady is depicted in the restored fresco that graces our labels. Our excellence extends to heavenly Chianti Classico DOP extra-virgin olive oil from the finest olive groves.
