About the Winery
Fattoria Fibbiano is a family-owned-and-operated agricultural company and farmhouse located in the heart of
the Tuscan countryside in the hills between Pisa and Volterra. The company covers an area of approximately
74 acres on which it pursues the dream of producing Tuscan wine made from native grapes. All soils are
treated with organic non-chemical fertilizers. The vineyards are rooted in soil that is rich in clays and
seashells, a condition that is favorable for producing wine without much human intervention, which
inevitably would change its nature.
Fattoria Fibbiano contains a vineyard that is over one hundred years old (one of the oldest vineyards in
the region) from which have been selected the mother plants of all existing vineyards within the company.
The farms' wine cellar, where wines were born in the late 1800's, now serves as a tasting room.
History
The farm, located in the valley of the Era, near Terricciola, was the property of the family Gherardi del
Testa Barasaglia of noble lineage and its origins date back to around 1300. On the hill in the Fattoria di
Fibbiano there are some tombs and finds of that civilization that formed the principle of Tuscan culture.
The farmhouse of Fibbiano was built in 1707, but it is part of our history over three centuries later.
In 1997, Giuseppe Cantoni, along with his wife Tiziana and their two sons, Matteo and Nicola, decided to
return to Tuscany and rediscover the roots of his family, who had been farmers for generations.
When Tiziana first saw the Farmhouse Fibbiano, she immediately realized that wouyld be where the family
would share their simple, rich life, in contact with the earth and the purest things, far from the noise and
routine of the city.
After renovations, the Farmhouse of Fibbiano maintains the tradition of the territory but is ready to
gather new stories, meetings and experiences.
