The wineries
Dievole
The heart of the ABFV Group, 12km north of Siena. The estate extends across 158 hectares, 100 of which belong to the Chianti Classico appellation, while the remaining 58 fall under Toscana IGT for the production of the youthful Le Due Arbie labels. The soils differ significantly but are mostly chalky, combining with sandstone, marl and clay in several parcels. Recently reappointed to the finest standards in hospitality, the Dievole Wine Resort is the perfect Tuscan haven. dievole.it
Poggio Landi
The future of ABFV’s Montalcino winemaking. 74 hectares of vineyards skirt the most prestigious parcels in the denomination, from historic parcels in the north to those rich in character in the south. Only Sangiovese is planted here to produce ageworthy but accessible Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, also as Riserva in the best vintages, and fruit-forward Rosso di Montalcino DOC. poggiolandi.it
Podere Brizio
A boutique wine estate southwest of Montalcino, set in manicured grounds vaunting 10 refined guest rooms, a cellar door, spa and tennis court. 12 hectares of Sangiovese vineyards produce instantly aromatic Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, also as Riserva in the best vintages, and disarming Rosso di Montalcino DOC. poderebrizio.it
Tenuta Meraviglia

Planted with 30+ hectares of Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, the aim is to convey authentic aromas and flavours through spontaneous fermentation in unrefined concrete vats and refinement in large French oak casks. Wines include the Maestro di Cava, a full-bodied Bolgheri DOC Superiore; a mineraldriven Rosato; and a saline Vermentino. tenutameraviglia.it
