Wine Tasting of our Family Production
Discover the art of winemaking as you sample a curated selection of our finest wines from our family vineyard in Pontassieve in the heart of Chianti Rufina. I Veroni has a dynamic range of 3 distinct Chianti Rufina wines which are true to the authentic character of the Sangiovese- Rufina tradition and 4 IGT wines : two red wines , a Rose’ and White blend . Traditional wines are Chianti Rufina DOCG, Chianti Rufina Riserva Docg , Vin Santo del Chianti Rufina DOC.
The name I Veroni is derived from the wide terraces surrounding the farm where many years ago tobacco leaf and grain from the Arno valley was dried. Today the farm which lies in the Pontassieve Hills (240-280 meters), spreads over 50 hectares and is close to the church of S.Martino a Quona. The vineyards cover 15 hectares and 20 hectares are planted with olives. From the robust depth of Sangiovese to the elegant notes of Vermentino, each sip reflects the unique characteristics of our terroir. Our guided tastings provide insights into the nuances of aroma, flavor, and the perfect pairings to elevate your dining experience.

In recent years, Mugello has emerged as an exciting frontier for Pinot Noir wine production, signaling a captivating shift in the region's winemaking landscape. Mugello has embraced the challenge of cultivating the delicate Pinot Noir grape with remarkable success. The cool climate and diverse terroir of Mugello provide an ideal environment for Pinot Noir, allowing the grape to express its nuanced flavors and elegant structure. Vintners in the region have demonstrated a keen understanding of the grape's requirements, employing meticulous viticultural practices to harness its full potential. The resulting Pinot Noir wines from Mugello showcase a harmonious balance of red fruit aromas, subtle earthiness, and a velvety texture, embodying the region's commitment to innovation while staying true to its rich winemaking heritage.
