Our family history

The Gasparri family has been producing wine since 1930, the year in which the first terrain with a small vineyard was purchased. This beginning of the family´s venture into winemaking is recorded in a notarial contract in which our great-grandfather´s name Pietro appears, when he bought the Macinatico farm in the San Gimignano municipality. In 1965, Giuseppe and Romanello decided to specialise in the production of wine and olive oil. They acquired today´s winery and planted many more vineyards on the land. Between 1988 and the early 2000s, our wine production more than doubled with the purchase of new vineyards and Fattoria dell’Agresto in 1997. Today our estate stretches over 320 hectares on the Florentine Chianti hills, between the municipalities of Certaldo, Gambassi Terme and Murlo.

REINVENTING TRADITION

Our work is to constantly search for the perfect union between Tuscan tradition and the most modern processing techniques. We love rediscovering our history, keeping long-standing techniques alive while improving it with new technology.    From "Posato", a Sangiovese passito red wine obtained from traditional drying of grapes on racks typical of Vin Santo, to the rediscovery of red wines habitually coming from the Mediterranean basin, made with a percentage of white grapes such as our "Visyr", made with Syrah and Viognier grapes.The way in which our wine rests is also fundamental, choosing the tanks of the past, ones made from concrete, which maintains the optimal cellar temperature.

PEOPLE

Giuseppe and Romanello inherited the passion for agriculture from their grandfather Pietro, and over the years have succeeded in significantly growing the company into the estate as we know it today. Their sons Andrea, Francesco and Giacomo have modernized the family business, creating new wines which interpret the taste of younger consumers, while respecting the tradition handed down by their forefathers.
