A story of friendship dated 2021

Although young in the wine panorama, the roots of Cantina le Pietre are intertwined with a rich and illustrious history

Cantina le Pietre was founded in 2021 through the will of the owners of two neighboring estates, based on a deep history of friendship that began just a few years earlier.

Our estates and our lands: rich in history. From the Cavalcanti family to the Guicciardini family, the oldest owners dating back. Until reaching us, the current owners.

Here in 1716, Cosimo de' Medici, through an edict, elevated our Valdarno as a zone for the production of quality wine.

Casa al Bosco e La Casuccia

It is from these two historic estates that Cantina le Pietre was born.

Andrea Cavallari, in 1999, purchased the estate Casa al Bosco and settled there with his newborn son, Zeno Cavallari, and the family.

Here, he planted a small vineyard of Merlot and Cabernet for family use, and for years, he delighted with great passion in cultivating the vine and its fruits, producing a wine that has always amazed.

In 2020, in the midst of the pandemic, Matteo Giuffrida left the frenetic Milan and bought, sight unseen, the neighboring estate, La Casuccia.

A great friendship was immediately born, which prompted Andrea, Zeno, and Matteo, driven by a strong passion for wine and nature, to found Cantina Le Pietre.
