More information on our farm:
20 hectares (about 50 acres) of land belongs to our farm: 5 hectares are vineyards certified “Chianti Colli Fiorentini”. We grow Sangiovese, Merlot and Vermentino grapes; they are changed into our very good Chianti wine in the “Valvirgino” winery ,where we will be glad to drive you for a visit, it is open all the year round. 4 hectares of olive trees certified IGP (Protected Geographical Indication) where different varieties of olives are grown, such as Moraiolo, Leccino, Frantoio, Correggiolo. They are pressed cold within 12 hours from the harvest by the Carmignani Mill located in the village of San Casciano in Val di Pesa, where we take our olives to be changed into extra virgin olive oil. The Carmignani Mill is open to visits from late October to December. 6 hectares of fields for sowing (wheat, sunflowers, etc) 5 hectares of forest plots.
Grape harvest and olives picking.
In a real Chianti farm, as ours, the rhythm of life is following the rhythm of Nature. Each season has its special duties to the farmer. On late summer, usually on September-October, at Podere Le Rondini you may attend one of the most important event of our farm: the grape harvest. Some weeks later (usually on November) another great “show” is on stage:the olives-picking or olives-harvest. On these occasions, you may join us and our workers in order to have a real experience of the local ancient harvest’s techniques.Occasional participation is free: we recommend to wear appropriate clothing, such as jeans and sneakers, or better, boots in rubber. A gift to all participants.
