The Farm
Casanuova di Ama
Our farm, Casanuova di Ama, is located in the heart of Chianti Classico, the splendid scenario of the hills of Ama - in the municipality of Gaiole in Chianti at the altitude of 550 metres above sea level, surrounded by vineyards and olive groves.
The Bencini family bought the farm in 1967. In 1984, after many years of restructuring the buildings and planting new vineyards, we sold our first bottles of wine, the so called Fiaschi (bottles wrapped in baste fibers).
From then on our little farm started growing, slowly but steadily. With patience and passion - two essentials in farming - we established our production of wine, vinsanto, classic method spumante, extra virgin olive oil and Grappa.
And now we added to our experience of generations of farmers, winemakers and cellar masters the expertise and consultation of the oenologist Yuri Bencini who is following our passion for quality and the principles of our philosophy of our company run exclusively by the family.

Who we are
Our family was born in the Chianti and has lived here for many generations, our job has always been land cultivation. Until the end of the 60s we worked for other people as sharecroppers, then for ourselves. This kind of work requires much sacrifice, but we are proud of what we do, thanks especially to our love for Nature and to the pleasure we have in being everyday in contact with it.
Our life is simple and linked to important values such as seriousness and desire to work. We are very happy when our guests appreciate the way we work, and come back to visit us, no longer as customers, but as friends.
