Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG

In the heart of Classic Chiantishire, in the splendid scenery of the hills of San Donato in Poggio, Casa Emma can be found, at an altitude of 420m above sea level, surrounded by 34 hectares^? of land.

The 21 hectares cultivated with vineyards (mainly Sangiovese, about three hectares of Merlot, and small sections of black malmsey and canaiolo), and the three hectares of Olive^? groves and five hectares of Botanical park completely surround the historical farm house where one finds the wine making and maturation^? cellar^?. Then there is a series of areas used in the production process including the wine tasting room.

The Bucalossi family bought the company at the beginning of the 1970’s from the Florentine noblewoman Emma Bizzarri, whose name remains attached to the property. Since then, they have been dedicated, with the patience and passion that agriculture demands, to the production of wine (Chianti Classico^?, Chianti Classico Reserve^?, Soloio and Vin^? Santo^?), oil, extra virgin oil, Grappa^?, vinegar^?, and a series of delicious gastronomic preparations: wine gelatine, rose syrup and cooked wine.

Their wines, exported worldwide, are enriched by the advice and mastery of the oenologist Carlo Ferrini, with apassion for quality at the base of the company’s philosophy.
