Chianti Classico DOCG

History

The Fronti family's roots in Radda go back to Bruno Fronti's 1959 agricultural-service business; they began buying vineyards in 1982 (Casanova dell'Aia).

Angela Fronti, an oenology graduate, convinced her father and uncle to create their own label; the first Chianti Classico was the 2009, and she began bottling in 2012.

The estate is now a benchmark of new-generation Radda Chianti Classico.
