Villa Trasqua winery is located in Tuscany, situated between Siena and Monteriggioni. The origins of the estate can be traced back to the year 1001. The focus is on the grape variety Sangiovese, from which the Chianti Classico, the ”historic” form of Chianti with the highest standards of quality, is produced. Since 2015, Villa Trasqua has been exclusively using organic viticulture to preserve the environment and resources. The harvest is carried out in several passes and exclusively by hand to ensure highest quality fruits.
