The History
Selvapiana, originally a medieval tower in defense of Florence, transformed into a villa during the Renaissance, was purchased in 1826 by Michele Giuntini, Florentine banker and ancestor of the current owner Francesco Giuntini. Francesco was among the first in Tuscany to produce wine from only Sangiovese grapes and to link the winery’s flagship wine to a specific single vineyard: Bucerchiale. Today, the management is in the hands of Silvia and Federico, children of Franco Masseti, farmer in Selvapiana from 1953 to 1990, adopted by Francesco in 1994 and continuers of the tradition.
Terroir & Winery
Most of the vineyards are around the Villa which also functions as a winery center. The proximity of the Apennines profoundly influences the microclimate of the area with cooler summers and notable temperature variations between day and night. For this reason the grapes can ripen slowly and manage to achieve a good balance of all the aromatic components of the grape.
