Ripanuda Winery is located in Gaiole in Chianti, the hearth of the Chianti Classico district.
It’s a project born and created from the passion and the dream of four young friends; after many years spent in the wine world this was a natural path to follow.

A passion driven project: Ripanuda as a synthesis of our different experiences.

The Estate owns 3,5 hectars (8.6 acres) of organically run vineyards.
In 2010 we started a biodynamic approach: this philosophy reflects the desire of following  natural cycles from the vineyard into the bottle. We like to assist Mother Nature in crafting an high quality wine, expression of the complexity of the Tuscan Terroir.

The Chianti Classico region covers an area of approximate 100 square miles between the city of Florence to the north and Siena to the south.
The soil and geography of this region can be quite varied, with altitudes ranging from 820 feet to 2000 feet, and rolling hills producing differing macroclimates. There are two main soil types in the region: a weathered sandstone known as alberese and a bluish-gray chalky marlstone known as galestro.The soil in the north is richer and more fertile with more galestro, with the soil gradually becoming harder and stonier with more albarese in the south. In the north, the Arno river can have an influence on the climate, keeping the temperatures slightly cooler, an influence that diminishes further south in the warmer Classico territory towards Castelnuovo Berardenga.
