Fattoria Uccelliera

Family farm since 1960. It extends between the municipalities of Fauglia and Crespina Lorenzana for 240 ha, with 15 ha of vineyard and 6 ha of olive grove, most of which is woodland, arable land and agritourism. The wine production includes Chianti IGT with Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Alicante Bouschet, Syrah and Petit Verdot grapes as well as Pinot Blanc, Viognier and Sauvignon Blanc. The name of the estate derives from a cadastral place-name, UCCELLIERA, which referred to the highest place where many types of birds nested. The trees around the Uccelliera with the help of nets were used to catch the birds alive. Each year the labels feature a different animal figure to tell the story of the local fauna and to better remember the year the wine was produced.
