Savignola is a boutique winery that has been located in the heart of Chianti Classico since 1780, with a vineyard area of 5 hectares and an annual production of about 22,000 bottles.

The craftsmanship of past ages continues today in the fields and cantina. We nurture the vines all year by hand, rarely relying on machines to make vital work faster.
At the harvest every bunch of grapes is examined and judged before being selected for picking to ensure only the finest and perfectly ripe grapes go into the cantina that day.
In the cantina the hands-on approach continues. The tanks and barrels are checked regularly by our staff to ensure adjustments can be made quickly and efficiently, assuring the quality of each vintage.

The small size of our plantings allow us to produce wines that truly represent the small micro-climate of our hillside and its characteristic deep clay and chalky soil. This terrain requires rigorous and careful work every year to ensure the perfect conditions for creating rich, intense and long-lived wines.
By following the principles of integrated production and carrying out sustainable processing of the vineyards, we respect, protect, and enhance our terroir with its unique features so that our range of products are the ultimate expression of the land and reflect its authenticity.
