Travignoli
トラヴィーニョリ
One of Tuscany's oldest estates, with Etruscan-era roots in Chianti Rufina.
Villa Travignoli is one of the oldest wine estates in Tuscany, with roots tracing back to the Etruscan era — an Etruscan stele depicting a wine banquet was unearthed on the property and is now displayed in the Fiesole museum. The estate is first documented in a 1100 parchment of the Vallombrosa monastery, and by 1473 was recorded as a noble household comprising three farms. Since 1800 the estate has been run by the Busi family, who in 2023 celebrated Travignoli's 550th anniversary and received Unioncamere's 'Italia 150' award as one of Italy's oldest enterprises. Located in the Chianti Rufina zone east of Florence, near the confluence of the Arno and Sieve rivers, the estate's 70 hectares of vineyards benefit from a pronounced day-night temperature swing that gives its Sangiovese-based wines elegance, structure, and notable aging potential.
