The Tenute del Cabreo estates cover two areas, both in the town of Greve in Chianti. The first, known as Zano, consists of 45 hectares of vineyards planted with Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon vines, the grapes of which are used to produce the Cabreo wine.
The second, just 6 km away in Panzano, on the highest hills of the Chianti Classico region, consists of 20 hectares cultivated with Chardonnay and Pinot Nero, the grapes of which are used to make the La Pietra and Black wines.
The Super Tuscan wines produced on the Tenute del Cabreo estates have astonished us with their personality and elegance for more than thirty years. La Pietra, Chardonnay Toscana IGT and Black, Pinot Nero Toscana IGT, bring Burgundian style to Tuscany, soaking up the distinctive features of the terroir. Cabreo Il Borgo, with its traditional blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon, has been met with enthusiasm since 1982.
