About the Producer

Located just a few km outside the town of Gaiole in Chianti Classico, Borgo Casa al Vento is the result of a skillful restoration carried out by the Gioffreda family in the early 1990s. Today, the modern touches of this ancient estate invoke the passion, love and tradition that make authentic Chianti Classico such an inspiration. Gently sloping hillsides at high altitudes are blessed with classic Galestro soils of limestone, marl and broken stone. The harvest at Casa al Vento is a ritual, a celebration of the season and a step towards the long-awaited wine to come. There are 5 hectares of Sangiovese for the production of 3 Chianti Classico DOCG and 1.5 hectares of Merlot for the production of IGT red.
