Agricola Matteoli
アグリコーラ・マッテオリ
A family-run San Sano estate blending handcrafted Chianti Classico with personalized, hands-on hospitality.
Agricola Matteoli is a small, family-run winery in the medieval hamlet of San Sano, within the township of Gaiole in Chianti. After years away in Milan, the Matteoli family returned to their native Chianti hills to share their love of the land through wine, producing a limited number of handcrafted bottles each year. The estate's vineyards sit on marl- and limestone-rich soils fully exposed to the sun, planted mainly to Sangiovese with a smaller share of Merlot, and are vinified into Chianti Classico DOCG (roughly 82% Sangiovese, 18% Merlot). Beyond wine, the family produces extra virgin olive oil and a traditional Vin Santo del Chianti Classico from Malvasia and Trebbiano, and runs the San Sano agriturismo — a 12th-century property with rooms and a pool amid the vineyards and olive groves — where visitors can taste the estate's wines and oil. Agricola Matteoli is known for offering personalized wine labels and 'adopt a vine/olive tree' programs that connect customers directly to the land and the winemaking process.

Who Is This For?
For travelers and collectors seeking an authentic, small-batch Chianti Classico producer off the main tourist trail, and for those looking for a personal, hands-on winery experience (custom labels, vine adoptions, farmstay tastings) rather than a large commercial estate.
