ABOUT
Written historical sources mention Castello La Leccia as early as 1077, when the nobleman Rodolfo di Guinzo acquired part of the castle. Considering the strategic importance of its position, the rights of the castle were divided between 16 different owners. Our organic winery offers twelve bedrooms in three different categories, ranging 21 to 55 m² in size, which all enjoy splendid views over the surrounding countryside. Elegantly furnished, the rooms have been designed to render your stay intimate and comfortable. Wooden floors, beamed ceilings, pastel colors, precious fabrics and furniture designed by a Florentine artisan chosen exclusively for these rooms, create a warm and sophisticated atmosphere. With this in mind, we work to support the development of life on the ground. We use a reduced quantity of copper and sulfur for phytosanitation, we favor the use of resistance inductors to increase the intrinsic defense of the plants, we plant barley, mustard and clover between the rows of vines and we use compost derived from the pomace and stalks. These are only a few of the factors that encourage an optimum balance of organic substances in which our vines sink their roots.
