This is: CASTELLO DI POPPIANO
“I believe that when love for your estate, vineyards and olive groves is transmitted generation after generation, it gets into your DNA.” Ferdinando Guicciardini.
Conte Guicciardini is a family-run business consisting of three estates in Tuscany:
POPPIANO CASTLE: Historic fortress built towards the end of the first millennium to defend the city of Florence and has been the historic company of the Guicciardinis since 1199. The estate is located in the Chianti Colli Fiorentini area. In the winemaking cellar, everything is set up to enhance the quality of the grapes grown and harvested in our vineyards. The maturation and aging, in barrels for the Chianti Colli Fiorentini and in barriques for the IGT wines, takes place slowly in the basement of the Castle and adds roundness, value and character to the wines which are completed with a few months of refinement in the bottle.
Castello di Poppiano is the headquarter of all management, administrative and commercial activities of the three estates pertaining to the Conte Guicciardini Group:
CASTELLO DI POPPIANO (Chianti Colli Fiorentini),
MASSI DI MANDORLAIA (Morellino di Scansano),
BELVEDERE CAMPÒLI (Chianti Classico).
The wines of all three companies are available for direct sale and tasting at the Wine Shop at the Poppiano Castle

The best wine tasting experience I had so far… it is so obvious that they are passionate at what they do. Janine was a great tour guide with her deep knowledge, hospitality and passion for wine and olive oil. Tasty wine, amazing meat with it but the surprising factor was the olive oil. I am currently trying to find excuses to eat the olive oil that I bought from Cinque de Vino:)

My wife and I were fortunate enough to tour the historic and very beautiful Castel Poppiano with the amazing guide Janine.
We later discovered that our guide had worked in many capacities for this estate for many years, as she shared her encyclopaedic knowledge and boundless enthusiasm for wines and oils of the Tuscan region. We have toured many wineries in many regions, and somehow Janine was able to share her passion for great oil and excellent wine in such a way that we hung on her every word. We learnt so much about the estate and the special care that is taken by the ancient and royal family who run this lovely winery to produce exceptional products.
If you have two hours and you are nearby, please consider meeting Janine and experiencing this wonderful place.

Lovely experience with wine and antipasto! Tour guide was amazing and she knows all about the wines, olive oils, and local cured meats. Four of us booked a tour and tasting and it was a wonderful experience!

This was one of the 2 greatest experiences from our family tour of northern italy. The wine tasting and bike tour of the Tuscan country side was beyond breathtaking. The wine was spectacular, as was expected from the region, and the tour was very informative. Be sure to get some pictures from the top of the castle as the view is unreal and endless. Once on the bike the random scenery put the “post cards” you’ve seen to shame. This is a must for anyone visiting the area whether you arr in shape or not!

Super Wein und eine tolle Location. Wir waren auf dem Abschlußkonzert der Musikschule San Quirico. Eine unglaubliche Inszenierung mit vielen musikalischen Talenten.
