Casale Falchini Winery

The ancient building Casale, which names the surrounding area, is located just two steps outside the walls of San Gimignano; the property was acquired by Riccardo Falchini in 1964, a descendant from an ancient Florentine family of viticulturist and winemakers, that since 1626 produced wine for Cosimo de' Medici.. Situated 300 meters above sea level, it extends over a landscape of green rolling hills, many hectares of which are of specialized vineyards.













The Casale, the building which names the surrounding area, used to be an ancient convent run by monks. In 1968 the first specialized vineyards were born. In 1976 the old wine cellar was converted in to a new modern cellar, the absolute first in the area to be equipped with cold processing and temperature control of the fermentation of the wines. 








The wine Vernaccia di San Gimignano represents 50% of the entire production. This winery has been actively exporting all over the world for over 30 years. The Casale-Falchini has received important prizes and  awards in international competitions, including several Gold Medals for the two Red Tuscan IGT wines Campora and Paretaio, as well as for the two Vernaccia wines: Ab Vinea Doni and Vigna a Solatio
