The Guicciardini family, one of Florence's oldest, has held a prominent role in the city's political, social, and economic life since 1200. Their history is intertwined with the Castello di Poppiano, a medieval fortress built around the year 1000 to defend Florence. A 1199 inheritance document confirms the castle has been in the Guicciardini family for at least nine centuries. Today, the estate is a key player in the DOCG "Chianti Colli Fiorentini." The "alberese" soils, clayey but rich in skeleton and well-drained, are ideal for producing quality wines. The winery is next to the castle, while the aging cellar with oak barrels and barriques is located underground, maintaining optimal natural temperatures. Since 2015, Castello di Poppiano also includes Belvedere-Campòli in Chianti Classico and Massi di Mandorlaia in the Maremma, within the Morellino di Scansano appellation.
