Fattoria Valacchi is located in the heart of Chianti, halfway between Florence and Siena in the town of Barberino Val d’Elsa. The property covers 58 hectares, of which twelve are used for vineyards and another twelves for olive trees. Their production focuses on traditional grapes, Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Colorino and Malvasia but important vineyards have been devoted to Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah for their Super Tuscan ‘Valicaia’.
