Today Viticcio is owned by the Landini family in the heart of the Chianti Classico region, Greve. Now the winery is managed by Alessandro Landini who, with his family, follows his fathers footsteps. The vineyards are extends to 120 hectares of which all turned to organic since 2013. All around are woods and also olive trees for the production of extra virgin olive oil. The work in the cellar is still largely carried out manually. Simplicity and cleanliness are essential elements to obtain a wine that expresses at its best the characteristics of its territory.
Viticcio has built its portfolio on its Chianti Classico wines, beginning with its Viticcio Chianti Classico that was first produced in 1966. But it is also well-known for its Super Tuscan. This wine is the result of a blend between Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, both from old vineyards that are on different grounds.
