Castello di Volognano

The Castle of Volognano - whose name is probably of Etruscan origin or derived from the Roman Lucio Volumnio - dates back to the eleventh century. Since the times of Dante and Petrarch, the Castle has welcomed famous people and more recently also Gioacchino Rossini, Giosuè Carducci and Enrico Fermi.

At the beginning of the 60's the entrepreneur Ezio Pecchioli bought the company and planted the first vineyards specialized in the lands of Volognano that were cultivated with the typical mixed crops of the Tuscan sharecropping; since then three generations have worked and invested in this ambitious project. The interest and dedication that bind the vine to the Castle have been directed towards products of superior quality, in line with the technological evolution of recent years while respecting the ancient traditions.

Today, in the historical residence, carefully restored and transformed into an accommodation facility, it is possible to stay in an atmosphere of the past. In the old cellar, also restored in perfect harmony with the style of the manor house, are organized tastings with Tuscan food specialties, food and wine workshops and visits to the agricultural museum, set up with tools used in the past for working the land and vineyards, some of which are of great value.

The farm is located in the Chianti Colli Fiorentini area, very close to Florence, at about 400 m above sea level and includes 200 hectares, most of which are dedicated to the cultivation of vines and olives. The cultivation of the vineyards is aimed at safeguarding the heritage of the area, with particular attention to those "native" vines such as Sangiovese, Colorino, Canaiolo, Trebbiano Toscano and Malvasia.

These grape varieties are able to give an added value of perfumes and aromas to the palate, exalting the peculiarities of a territory already in itself characterized by a great and historical vocation for wine. The wines are the result of a scrupulous management, which at every stage of the production process is aimed exclusively at quality.

Visita Con amici
05-10-2022
Avevamo regalato la degustazione Castello di Volognano a una coppia di amici poi abbiamo deciso di accompagnarli, mai decisione fu più azzeccata! Esperienza splendida e molto interessante, Grazie alla professionalità di Martina che ci ha accompagnato e spigato benissimo sia la parte storica del borgo che la parte relativa alla cantina, per poi guidarci nella degustazione. Abbiamo scelto il Pranzo leggero con tagliere di ottimi salumi e formaggi con pane toscano e schiacciata Toscana, e tre vini superlativi inoltre anche bruschetta con olio, e per finire un meraviglioso Vin Santo. Consigliatissima!

Sono stata con un’amica al castello di Volognano per la nostra prima esperienza in un’azienda vinicola che propone degustazioni. Il ragazzo che ci ha accompagnato è stato semplicemente delizioso, preciso, simpatico e professionale. Ci ha spiegato tutta la procedura Di produzione del vino dalla vendemmia all’imbottigliamento. Esperienza fantastica da ripetere senza dubbio. E consigliatissima la cantina Volognano! Tornerei senza dubbio!
