The Romanelli family has been associated with the Riseccoli estate since the early 1900s when Romano Romanelli acquired it in 1902.
Tenuta Di Riseccoli is now owned by his daughter, Ilaria Romanelli. Ilaria carries on the winemaking tradition established by her father, helped by her French husband, Arnaud Faure, and their 4 sons: Nicolas, Benoit, Laurent and Thomas Romanelli- Faure. Through their dedication to maintaining the family legacy and producing outstanding wines, they have turned Riseccoli into an acclaimed Tuscan wine estate.
The 16 hectares of vineyards are mostly planted with Sangiovese and are spread across two distinctive areas situated near the prime viticultural village of Greve in Chianti. Specific natural factors combine to make this a very distinct terroir, resulting in the complex and ne wines of Riseccoli.
At the Riseccoli winery viticulture and wine-making are practiced in the most eco-friendly manner with care and respect to the soil, the vineyards and the environment. The Romanelli-Faure is constantly striving to produce wines showing intensity of fruit as well as precision, balance, elegance and finesse.
