Detailed itinerary

In the 15th century the powerful Squarcialupi family settled in the Squarcialupi Palace, in the center of the town, taking advantage of its strategic position.
From the oldest vineyards, at an altitude of 600 m, on the southern hill of Castellina in Chianti, balanced wines are obtained whit fruity and floral aromas, a feature of the "Squarcialupi" line.

The vineyards adjacent to the village that descend from the south-west slope, produce the grapes for the "La Castellina" line, distinguished by an imprint of international varieties, which bring body and notes of ripe fruits.

Descending to the altitude of 350 m is the property "Ricudda", a natural basin exposed to the south that produces organic wines of great territorial expression.

Free time to explore and discover the little narrow alleys and the cute boutique shops

The Guidi winery was founded back in 1929, when it already showed that distinctive
nature, in other words the traits of a family-run business, which is still its
distinguishing mark, with a longstanding know-how that has been handed down,
generation after generation, from father to son. Today, the experience of the
fathers is joined by the innovative creativity of their offspring: a winning mix that
has led the Guidi winery to renew itself, year after year, and to present today a line
of wines that are the expression of the Tuscan territory, cared for down to the
smallest details. From the hills of the Chianti Classico and of San Gimignano,
distinctive and refined wines, made by expert hands and characterized by a great
focus on the search for the best quality.
