IL SOSSO, Lucignano
The estate “Il Sosso” is situated amongst the vaste hills of the Tuscan landscape in the heart of the green vineyards in the Arretine area of Chianti, and specifically in the Commune of Lucignano, an exquisitely beautiful mediaeval historic centre. The land belonging to the estate falls mainly on the hillside and surround the beautiful Leopoldino-style farmhouse built in the second half of eighteen century. The Farm has been owned by the Ravaglioli family for three generations, and exactly since 1965, the year in which the property was purchased, is paid the same endless passion to the cultivation of the vineyards and striving continuously for quality. Even today it’s managed with competence and sensitivity but above all with the humility of those continually forces to improve.
