Savignola

Highlights:

• Historical Roots: Established in the 16th century, Savignola began as a farming community and evolved into a respected winery and agriturismo with deep Etruscan and Christian origins.

• Tradition and Innovation: The estate blends traditional Chianti practices with modern innovations, producing superior wines and olive oils while respecting the region’s heritage.

• Female-Led: Paolina, a pioneering woman in the 1950s and 60s, set the tone for Savignola’s ethos, becoming the first woman to bottle Riserva in a Bordeaux-style bottle.
