La Salceta

Region: Toscana

Area: Chianti

Ruschieto Chianti Riserva DOCG 2006 | 100% Sangiovese

La Salceta is the Ettore Ciancico’s interpretation of the terroir and viticulture in Valdarno.

In the triangle, Florence, Siena and Arezzo, surrounded by the mountain ranges of Pratomagno and the Chianti hills, we find the Vald’Arno, an area dominated by clay, recognized as an area of excellence already in 1716 with the Bando of Cosimo III de’ Medici.

Between the Agna river near the village of San Giustino and the ancient Etruscan and Roman road CassiaVetus, along the Setteponti road, La Salceta is totally embedded and integrated into the land.

Since their foundation, the estate has been conducted in compliance with the rules of organic farming, using the latest knowledge and technology for the enrichment of the soil and the self-defense of the grapes and olive trees.
