Fattoria Selvapiana ★ 4.5
Chianti Rufina · Via Selvapiana 43, 50065 Pontassieve, Italy
Selvapiana's vineyards on the Sieve valley east of Florence became officially certified organic in 2019 by ICEA, although the estate had been farming on organic principles for many years prior. Bucerchiale single-vineyard Riserva is the flagship.
Tip: Pair the Bucerchiale Riserva with the rosso annata to taste cool-Rufina altitude and altitude age-worthiness side by side.
Fontodi ★ 4.8
Chianti Classico · Via San Leolino 89, 50022 Panzano in Chianti, Italy
The Manetti family farm 90 hectares of Conca d'Oro Chianti Classico organically since 2008. The Flaccianello della Pieve IGT and the Chianti Classico annata are the estate signatures; the closed-loop farm also runs cattle for vineyard manure as part of organic vineyard practice.
Tip: Visit during late September for harvest; Fontodi's Conca d'Oro amphitheater is one of Chianti Classico's most photogenic sites.
Querciavalle (Losi) ★ 4.4
Chianti Classico · Loc. Pontignanello 6, 53019 Castelnuovo Berardenga, Italy
Losi family Chianti Classico estate at Pontignanello, organic since 2014. Traditionalist producer still doing the governo all'uso toscano and a Vin Santo Millennium aged 10+ years in caratelli.
Tip: Ask for the Vin Santo Millennium vertical; the solera-style caratelli have been refilled for decades.
