Villa a Sesta is a corner of paradise nestled in the countryside between Siena, Florence and Arezzo, where art, history and nature coexist harmoniously. The territory rich in medieval villages, parish churches and castles is evidence of an ancient civilization. Here authenticity is at home starting from the village and its inhabitants. The new cellar recently built with its 5,000 square meters represents the perfect fusion between innovation and tradition. It offers technological systems and represents the most modern system of a winemaking cellar for controlled temperature fermentation. The aging of the wines takes place exclusively in French oak barrels and barriques. Annual production is around 250,000 bottles. The property extends over more than 1,100 hectares of land, 50 of which are specialized vineyards. The predominant cultivation is the Sangiovese grape, the main basis for the Chianti Classico wine. The composition of the soil, its slope, altitude, sun exposure, ventilation, particular microclimate and grape selection are key elements for achieving the quality of Villa a Sesta wines.
