An ancient History in the territory of Lamole
Castellinuzza is a thousand-year-old borgo where a perfect balance between territory and craftsmanship persists.
The territory of Lamole, Historic Rural Landscape of Italy, is the setting for those who, like us, following a passion produce wines and oil of excellent quality.
The Origins
The Borgo of Castellinuzza has ancient origins. It was a castle surrounded by low walls and is thought to have belonged initially to the Gherardini family.
By 1400, it has been owned by the Cinuzzi family, current owners of part of the borgo.
The Villa
The villa and rural houses, all dating back to the early 1600s, have been restored while carefully preserving their original features, from the Renaissance-style garden to the stone facades.
The Family
The history of the Cinuzzi family starts in Siena around the mid-1400s and continues nowaday in Rome. The family crest still stands in the council chamber of the City of Siena, the Cinuzzi family being direct descendants of Marcantonio Cinuzzi, poet and member of the Accademia degli Intronati.
The Legacy
Son of Mariano, heir of a family of the nobility , enrolled in the “mount” of gentlemen. Centuries and generations have passed since then, but the family has remained inextricably linked to Castellinuzza and the production of Chianti Classico wine.

The territory
A high-hill territory characterized by significant temperature excursions between day and night that preserves all the characteristics of Sangiovese grapes.
The vineyards located on a promontory of Galestro (a characteristic clay based rock of the area) are constantly exposed to the morning breezes and throughout the rest of the day to the sun’s rays. The resulting wines delight in unique characteristics of freshness, elegance and refinement.
