ENOLOGIST: Gabriele Valeriani |
OWNER: Valeriani Family |
The Valeriani family has lived in Palazzo Bandino for 6 generations now where the love of producing quality wines and olive oil has been passed on down the line. At the beginning of the century when the royals of "Casa Savoia" came to Chianciano to relax and attend the horse shows, grandpa Beppe would attach his two-wheeled carriage to his horse and deliver wine to "Villa Ramella" where the Royals of Savoia lived. |
Today the farm/winery is run by Gabriele, agronomist, and by Marta, his daughter, who deals with the public relations. |
The main tendril is Sangiovese which is obtained through a cloning system with a production of around 40.000 bottles, most of which is Chianti Colli Senesi and recently also Rosso di Montepulciano and Nobile di Montepulciano, both produced in the family homestead of "Le Colombelline" and "Il Morone" in Montepulciano. |
In this area between Montepulciano and Montefollonico the calcareous terrain composed of limestone and clay is a common aspect and along with the favourable weather conditions of sun, rain and light breeze from the Val di Chiana hills makes it ideal for growing grapevines and makes it possible to harvest the grapes in late October. |
