The Winery
Villa di Geggiano Winery produces a very small amount of high quality wines from organic farming. Our focus is on making great wines which are healthy, of great taste and true expression of our Terroir.
We produce wine with the traditional taste of authentic Chianti Classico. Wines which are far removed from industrial production, aiming instead to express the high quality of a real agricultural production.
In a frenetic world, we take the time and responsibility to make artisanal wines, each with its own personality and history. Expression of the terroir of Geggiano and the stories of all those who collaborate in the creation of these wines.
Villa di Geggiano has been for 500 years home to the Bianchi Bandinelli family, today named Boscu. The production of fine wines dates back to 1725 when member of the Niccoló Bandinelli was producing here some premium quality wines which he was successfully exporting to the UK.
Among the first in Italy, Niccolò brought about a shift in the perception of Chianti-produced wine from a simple agricultural product intended only for domestic use, to a refined good for the enjoyment of Europe’s high society.
In 1995, brothers Andrea and Alessandro Boscu Bianchi Bandinelli decided to take over the running of the Estate. Together with Partner Malcolm Caplan, they set off to slowly planting vines and renovating the vinification cellar, to restart the production of fine wines. From the beginning on, they chose to adhere to the principles of organic agriculture, focusing on a small and high-quality production without compromises.
Today, Gregorio, the new generation of the family, suprvises with passions and integrity all aspects of the business and the winemaking process. Crafting authentic wines following Tradition, Organic agriculture and Purity .
Our work focuses on expressing the true identity of the territory with a simple but attentive intervention in the cellar and a meticulous work in the vineyards all year round, following the organic winemaking principles.
For us, being organic winemakers extends beyond an approach to agriculture, it is a complete attitude to the management of our winery, our company and the relationship with our consumers. This is expressed through our constant search for methods and practices aimed at sustainable, ecologically balanced and traditional manufacturing.
All the main works on the vines are performed by hand by expert staff members and all the 25,000 bottles of organic wine are entirely produced by vineyards of property. After a long fermentation and maceration in stainless steel the wines are aged in old French oak casks for at least 24 months.
We make wine with love and this matters.
