Learn about our wines

Campochiarenti estate bottles and sells wines and olive oil that come from his property in the province of Siena in the municipality of San Gimignano and Poggibonsi.

The soil of this area is an alluvial soil, so his features added to the microclimate of these hills, the different exposure of the vineyards, and the traditional way of working in vineyards and in cellar allow the production of wines with a unique personality, strictly dependent from the terroir. So the flavor shows the characteristic “Tuscan character” and all the products are easily recognizable as products of Tuscany, inducing the illusion of being in the surrounding of Siena every time they are tasted

Our wines come from the areas included in Denomination of Origin Controlled and Granted Chianti Colli Senesi and Vernaccia di San Gimignano. We also produce some special selections included in the Typical Geographic Indication Tuscany Red and White (IGT Toscana Rosso e Bianco).

Campochiarenti winery is the first one in Tuscany who protects all our production from electrosmog. Electrosmog is a type of pollution in the form of electricity. It consists of invisible electromagnetic radiation that steams from electrically charged objects and wireless technology.

In our wines you can feel not only the tradition of Tuscany but also our feelings, our values, the respect of the Nature and the love for the vines, that our family teached us.

If you have the same love you are ready for tasting.

Venti is a Vin Santo del Chianti DOC (Denomination of Origin Controlled) is produced with selected  Trebbiano Toscano and Malvasia grapes coming only from our vineyards.

The production rules say that grapes must dry out naturally until 1st December after the harvest, the wine has to be vinified and aged in small barrels (caratelli) smaller than 500 liters. The wine cannot be sold before the 1st November of the third year after the harvest. But Venti was managed in a different way.
