About

Territory and Tradition 

In 1716 the Grand Duke Cosimo III de 'Medici set the boundaries of the Chianti area, between the cities of Florence and Siena, where the homonymous wine was born, already very successful at the time, sealing the inseparable bond between wine and its territory of production. In 1932, through a specific ministerial decree, the suffix “Classico” was added to the name Chianti to distinguish the Chianti wine produced in the area of origin. Since then, Chianti Classico has been the wine produced in the territory geographically called “Chianti”: its brand is the Black Rooster brand, present on every bottle of the PDO. 

The Black Rooster Today (and Tomorrow) 

A significant change relating to the Chianti Classico appellation concerns the project, approved by the Consortium Members in June 2021: dividing the territory into 11 smaller and more homogeneous areas, the Additional Geographical Units (UGA). UGA is the indication on the label of the specific place of the vineyards from which the Chianti Classico Gran Selezione is produced. A project destined to expand in the years to come and a legacy for future generations, with its primary objective to enhance more and more the Chianti Classico PDO, the unique link between wine, man and territory.

Centenary Anniversary (1924 - 2024)

In 1924, thirty-three visionary winegrowers united with a shared vision to establish the Consorzio. They were driven by a belief in a collective purpose and the power of community, aiming to prioritize communal benefits over individual short-term gains to oversee the production of an entire region. These founding members were also insightful enough to recognize the need for a distinctive symbol that could represent the quality, authenticity, and identity of their product. Thus, the Black Rooster was chosen as their emblem.

A century later, the Consorzio has expanded to include 500 members, yet the goals that united us in 1924 remain steadfast. We are committed to protecting the wines from this highly prized region of unparalleled beauty and to supporting winegrowers in the global market-place, all under the symbol of the Black Rooster.

Arillo in Terrabianca

Italy
5.2 | F 099.13

Arillo in Terrabianca produces wines in the heart of Tuscany and it is owned by the Burkard family.  It is the 2019 when Adriana and Urs Burkard started the Arillo in Terrabianca project with the acquisition of the estates Terrabianca in Chianti Classico, Il Tesoro in Maremma and Colle Brezza in Val d'Orcia. The aim is simple though ambitious: to make, wines with a strong identity and with a deep territorial character following the principles of organic and minimalist wine growing, fostering those native grape varieties that find their best distinctive features in the Tuscan lands: in few words the care for the earth and the sustainability as a mother principle.

Thanks to the expertise of Ruggero Mazzilli, agronomist pioneer since the eighties of the concept of “bio-logic” (smart-organic agriculture), we observed and analyzed the ecosystems that surround our estates, taking care of the biodiversity and fertility of the soils and working on the “cover crop” of our lands. All our properties are organic certified.

Our model is strictly based on two principles: exclusive use of elements of natural origin and the minimization of human interventions on land to recover biodiversity and vitality functions.

In February 2023 the property has kicked off an intensive interior and exterior renovation program that includes the complete revamping of the winery with restaurant, wineshop and art gallery. The entire project was conceived and designed by the Swiss architect Mario Botta, who oversees its development in the various phases of implementation. Into this project we are also creating a new restaurant with the consulting strategy by the legendary 3 Michelin star chef Heinz Beck.

For a deeper info visit our website www.arillointerrabianca.com also on the wines scores section.

Three locations consist of 12 hectares of Sangiovese in Radda in Chianti (quite small), 33 hectares in Maremma (plus 6 hecteres of new plantings) and 6 hectares in Val d’Orcia (at this estate we still do not produce any wine, we aim to release the first wine durung 2025). year).

Belvedere1

Italy
5.2 | F 099.14

Belevedere1 farm is located in Castellina in Chianti. 45km south from Florence, 35k north of Siena.

We are a small, boutique organic estate located in the heart of the Chianti Classico appellation. The farm extends over 50 hectares, of which only 10 hectares are dedicated to vineyards, reflecting a clear focus on quality, balance and terroir expression rather than volume.

Working organic from the very beginning, the estate has never used pesticides or herbicides. Biodiversity is an essential part of our philosophy, with olive groves, arable land, vegetables, orchards, wild bushes, beehives and free-range chickens contributing to a healthy and living ecosystem.

Our wines are produced in limited quantities and are crafted to express freshness, precision and elegance. Clean winemaking, respect for the raw material and minimal intervention allow each wine to clearly reflect its origin. Belvedere1 represents a niche, artisanal approach to Chianti Classico, designed for buyers seeking authentic, organic wines with a strong identity and a refined, contemporary style.
