Enter the world of Chianti Classico Riserva. Discover the different characteristics that our Riserva can express in different vintages and with the passage of time.
The tour always begins in our panoramic garden with a view of Siena, Monteriggioni and San Gimignano. In the cellar the different production phases are described with particular emphasis on Chianti Classico Riserva which we will follow from the fermentation area to the aging area in 20 Hl oak barrels. The tour then continues in the tasting room where the tasting of three different reserve vintages is accompanied by a small taste of Tuscan pecorino and extra virgin olive oil from the estate.

About the host

The first historical traces of the Castello La Leccia date back to 1077.
During the 15th century, one of the most ancient Florentine Families, the Ricasoli, dominated the castle. It had also been the bulwark in the continuous wars between Florence and Siena.
In the 18th century, the castle had been partially renovated into a manor house, leaving the remaining hamlet a comfortable place where about 70 people lived.
The Castello La Leccia is an organic farm. We care for these lands and truly love these places; it is with great passion we have restored light and life to this house. We are not an Hotel but a family. Our idea is to greet you and share our intense love for this Tuscan location. In 2018, the baton was passed to the Swiss Sonderegger family who, with the same passion and commitment of former times, now manages Castello la Leccia. Thanks to the dedication and attention with which our team perform their duties on a daily basis, the values of respect for the environment and nature have been renewed.
