Chiappini

The Chiappini family has lived in the Bolgheri area since the 1950s, having moved from the Marche to work the fertile land of these areas. But it must immediately be made clear that the district of Bolgheri, at that time, was not remotely what we know today: the land was cultivated with difficulty, mainly for arable crops, vegetables, fruit, olives and a small part of wine grapes, destined for private consumption only. The Bolgheri area was a land of farmers, the peasant culture dominated with its natural principles and an extraordinary sense of community which allowed, over time, an integration between the various communities that found themselves living together here, attracted by the great availability of lands to cultivate. Then, at the beginning of the 70s, in the wake of the commercial explosion of Sassiciaia, created right in Bolgheri, a very high quality wine district was born "ex novo", certainly recognized worldwide. The main vines are therefore those of an "international" nature, namely cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, merlot, petit verdot with a small production of sangiovese and vermentino, while the production of oil remains alive, very renowned in these parts, a living and vital part of the Bolgheri past. It is certainly important to underline that from the 2010 vintage the totally organic management of the company began, respecting the territory, the environment, those who live there and those who work there. The desire to grow always goes hand in hand with the search for quality and respect for values, in the name of a unique terroir such as the Bolgheri one.
