At the close of the fourteenth century, Ser Lapo Mazzei became the first to commit the name Chianti to paper as the name of a wine, rather than simply a place. Among his writings also appear the names Malvagia and Tribbiano. From those ancient spellings come two wines: two grapes rooted in our tradition, two single-varietal interpretations, two distinct paths.

One is a red that places Malvasia centre stage, a grape long confined to a supporting role in Chianti Classico blends. The other is our first interpretation of Trebbiano, Chianti's quintessential white grape, vinified on its own and aged between stainless steel and acacia.

What unites them is a gesture that begins long before the first sip: listening closely to two varieties that history has too often taken for granted, and entrusting them to the hands of those who cultivate them today. From this small winemaking project, dedicated to the native grape varieties of our land, comes the Private Collection: 1,250 bottles of each wine, reserved exclusively for Wine Club members.
