The Farmhouse

Le Fonti a San Giorgio is a farm with around 70 hectares of land entirely managed by the Giovannelli family, owners for three generations.

The hilly land of the estate is approximately 250 m above sea level and is particularly suitable for the cultivation of 900 olive trees that produce an extra-virgin olive oil of excellent quality, obtained from hand-harvested olives following the traditional Tuscan method, which exalts the typical aroma and flavour of the oil of this area. Crushing takes place as soon as the olives are harvested. Cold pressing in order to maintain the olives´  organoleptic properties follows the classic crushing method.

Nevertheless, the 12 hectares of vineyards represent the main task for the owner, aimed at obtaining an excellent quality through the accurate selection of local species of vines. In the vineyard as in the cellar, tradition and innovation blend to obtain typical wines of character and originality.

Those who wish to know more about the mysteries of wine may participate in workshops on tasting techniques, organised within   the property and held by professional wine experts. We organise regular guided visits and tastings for wine lovers and for those who are just curious we accompany them on a tour of the farm and visit the wine cellar where you can appreciate our production: : Red and white Tuscan IGT, Chianti DOCG, Chianti Montespertoli DOCG and Chianti Montespertoli Reservoir DOCG extra-virgin olive oil and grappa.
