Villa Trasqua is a world without time. A temple where the classic becomes contemporary and the value of the future is the result of what has been learned from the past. 1000 years of viticulture situated in the most historic area of Chianti Classico which has determined the very shape of the earth, creating a wine microcosm capable of educating man himself to respect and value its fruits. 54 hectares of vineyards that give life to timeless wines, which exude with Tuscan spirit and express themselves in an elegant longevity. Villa Trasqua has harvested the labour of past generations and, in turn, is cultivating the future of those to come, the custodian of a wine heritage that goes back to the threshold of the year 1000.
