Istine

Location - Radda, Toscana

Winemaker - Angela Fronti

Farming - Certified Organic

Size - 20 Hectares

The winery is relatively young and is owned by the Fronti family, whose origins are proudly peasants.  In 1959 Bruno Fronti creates a service business in agriculture, which grows successfully thanks to the collaboration with his sons Fabio and Stefano.  After many years in the viticutural business, in 1982 the family buys its first hectares of land, where they plant their vineyards.

With the introduction of the second generation into the company, it is natural to start our own production in the bottle.  The 2009 harvest and the first 3000 bottles of Chianti Classico concretely represent what has always been the great passion for wine, thus integrating and completing the family business.
 

The commitment for the future is to evolve and grow, while remaining faithful to the traditions and to our territory, trying to enhance as much as possible what nature is offering us and the viticultural peculiarities of the highest lands of the Chianti region.  We are certified organic since 2016. We believe in respect for nature, for the people working in the vineyard and for those who taste the wine in the glass.
