Brand Story

Sandro Chia may have purchased the abandoned castle for which this estate is named in 1984, yet its foundation can be dated back over a millenia to the romans. The castle stood through state disputes, the turbulent middle ages, and Italy's reunification before Chia partnered with his friend Franco Martini, a predominant expert in Brunello and the cellar master. Their sons, Filippo and Stefano, now work at the winery and represent the coming generation. This is Avant Garde style melded with rich history.
