The vineyard of San Fabiano Calcinaia is located in the hills of the prestigious Chianti countryside. The property has a long history, dating back to 1000 A.D. In 1983, Guido Serio and his wife Isa invested in wine agriculture and a team of quality winemakers at the San Fabiano Calcinaia property. The Serios have lived and worked on the estate for over 40 years, raising their children there. The estate-grown fruit is farmed in the vineyards located within the village of Castellina, which is known for producing robust and age-worthy wines that stand out in the Chianti region.
In recent years, San Fabiano's wines have been recognized under the Gran Selezione designation, and acclaimed wine critic James Suckling praised them as some of the finest. Situated in the charming town of Castellina in Chianti, the estate boasts rolling hills and magnificent buildings. Known for its rich, old-school Chianti, San Fabiano Calcinaia has one foot in history while stepping into the future.
