Villa Ricasoli

Villa Ricasoli is a historic estate in the Chianti region of Tuscany associated with the Ricasoli family and their vineyards. The property comprises historic buildings and agricultural land used for wine production and tasting.

Guests typically find vineyard landscapes, historic architecture, and opportunities to sample Chianti wines produced on the estate, along with views across the Chianti hills. Wine-focused visits often include tastings, cellar areas, and walks through vineyard plots when offered to the public.

The estate has medieval origins and later developments; the Ricasoli family played a notable role in 19th-century Tuscan politics and in shaping early Chianti wine practices, notably through Baron Bettino Ricasoli. The property has remained linked to regional viticulture over successive generations.

Villa Ricasoli sits in central Tuscany within the Chianti zone, in the rolling hills between Florence and Siena. The estate is accessed from local roads serving the Chianti municipalities and lies among vineyards and olive groves typical of the area.

• Wine history: The Ricasoli family has long been associated with Chianti wine production and with an early 19th-century formulation of the Chianti blend by Bettino Ricasoli.
