Podere Terreno alla Via della Volpaia
ポデーレ・テレーノ・アッラ・ヴィア・デッラ・ヴォルパイア
A six-hectare family estate on Radda's high Volpaia ridge.
Podere Terreno alla Via della Volpaia is a small, family-run estate on the Volpaia ridge above the Pesa Valley in Radda in Chianti, one of the highest and coolest sub-zones of Chianti Classico. The farmhouse dates back to the 1400s and appears in 17th-century land records noted for the quality of its vineyards. Acquired by the Grilli family, the estate today combines a working boutique winery with a small farmhouse stay: agronomist and winemaker Giovanni Puccini has overseen the vineyards and cellar since 2015, while Cristina Grilli runs the hospitality side. Just six hectares are under vine — about 95% Sangiovese alongside small amounts of Merlot, Canaiolo, and Colorino — yielding a limited 20,000-25,000 bottles a year of Chianti Classico and Chianti Classico Riserva. The scale and hands-on, low-intervention approach place it among Radda's smaller artisan producers rather than its large estates.
