Notes on the Producer
Chianti is probably the best known of Italy's wine producing regions and was first defined in 1716. Wines produced in the area are protected by the DOCG and are world-renowned for their quality.
The Villa di Geggiano vineyards are located in the southern part of the Chianti Classico near Siena at an altitude ranging from 300 to 350 metres. The average age of the vines is about twelve years, but some Sangiovese plants have been preserved for over thirty-five years.
The first documents which testify to the family’s wine making activity date back to 1725 when Niccolò Bandinelli, who was producing wine in the cellars of the Villa, started exporting to Great Britain.
