History.

The history of the Tenuta di Campomaggio has its roots in a myth that begins in the Etruscan era, when the people who lived in the Chianti area abandoned pastoralism for agriculture and in particular viticulture. This is where an epic originates bringing this piece of land between Siena and Florence to be known in the world as the cradle of wine. The territory of Radda in Chianti is its epicenter, the engine of the Lega del Chianti that will be established in the Middle Ages. In this period the historic noble families lay the foundations for the construction of a brand with a timeless reputation.It takes a few centuries for a village to be erected on the top of a hill immersed in this prestigious countryside, a few kilometers North of Radda in Chianti. Campomaggio was born in the early 1700s with a splendid manor house. Campomaggio was established in the early 1700s, centering around a splendid manor house. Surrounded by forests and vineyards as far as the eye can see, a spectacle resulting from a perfect balance between man and nature, agriculture and respect for the land.
