"Passion" is the keyword to understand the philosophy of Sticciano country estate. The passion for this land and its products represents our main target: we always aim at quality."
No plant is so fascinating but the vine
Vine talks only to whom can understand it
We have to take constantly care of it and study it without rest
Its originality has no end
Its personality is wonderfully complicated
Sometimes you have to treat it with sweetness, sometimes with craft and other times with energy, But you have always to serve and love it
A year it is prodigal, the next one is greedy
It has fascinating incostancy and devilish perversities
But it is the Italian plant which has been always honoured
It is the plant which gives wine for rites, parties and health
For the vivid youth and the pleasant old age

Sticciano country estate is a historical farmhouse dating back to the seventeenth century with a long tradition in producing wine: this is well documented in some papers dating back to 1815. Probably the production of wine based around the Sangiovese grape started in the historical winery near to the villa even before Sticciano was built. Still today Chanti and other wines we product ripe in the same old cellar at Sticciano.

THE FARMHOUSE
Set in the breathtaking Chianti countryside, Sticciano country estate is not far away from the medioeval towns of Certaldo and San Gimignano, si distende su 170 ettari, di cui una parte coltivati a vite, una parte ad oliveto ed il resto avvolto da rigogliosi boschi popolati da piante secolari.

The farmhouse produces wine and extra virgin olive oil, using only its grapes and olives.
With its rural structures, Sticciano country estate is also an agritourism and still today it presents the fascinating site of the best Tuscan tradition.

Tuscan extra virgin olive I.G.P. is a typical Tuscan product; frantoio, morellino and leccino are the typical Tuscan varieties of this Tuscan characteristic plant we use to produce our high quality extra virgin olive oil: they can be also grown in combination with pendolino and maurino. We devote ourselves whole-heartedly to the growing of the plants and at the beginning of the ripening the olives are manually picked to preserve the organoleptic properties. Our oil expresses all the characteristic Chanti area hills, having an abundant taste of fruit and a marked but at the same time sweet flavour.
