1972 is the year when Marsilio Cordella, the founder and Maddalena Cordella’s grandfather, purchased this Noble 600 hectares Estate in Montalcino.
The Cordella Estate, honorary member of the Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino, with an altitude of 280 to 300 mts on the sea level, ideal for growing the wine’s Sangiovese grape, was dedicated at first to grains and grapes production, before being driven by Maddalena Cordella to a bright wine future.
Maddalena took over the Family Estate in the Tuscan Hills in 1998 from her father, Orlando Cordella a great entrepreneur and man of experience in the agricultural sector.
The 2010 is the year for the Brunello produced at Cordella, becoming an enduring 98 points J Suckling Brunello, vinified and aged in the 1400 square meters about 9 hectares of the carefully maintained vineyards are now assigned to winemaking.

The Nunzi Conti Family began their adventure in the wine business at the end of the 1800 when young Gualtiero Nunzi left his small village in the Tuscan mountains and moved to Florence.
After arriving in the Tuscan capital, he undertook a string of very different but profitable jobs and after only a few years, Gualtiero was able to make his dream come true purchasing the family’s first vineyards in Val di Pesa in the heart of the Chianti Classico area.
When Gualtiero passed away, the winery was inherited by his eldest son, Antonio, who carried on the family tradition with the same dedication of his father. Antonio strongly believed in the area’s vocation for winemaking and was one of the founders of the Consorzio del Vino Chianti Classico Gallo Nero.
CREDAMORA COL FONDO
A few years after the end of the second world war, Antonio’s brother, Gualtiero Armando focused all his business in viticulture and on May 26, 1970, he was made Vice President of the Consorzio Vino Chianti Classico and held the role of President between 1994 and 1997. With the entrepreneurial approach, Gualtiero Armando planted new vineyards, purchased more land and built a profitable and efficient winery whilst respecting the beauty and nature of the extraordinary countryside of Chianti hills.
In 1965 he purchased the 15th century Villa Pancani that was later named Villa Barberino. Today the Villa and surrounding land remains the heart of the Nunzi Conti family estate. Today Antonio and Isabella, assisted by winemaker Giampaolo Chiettini, manage the winery with the same passion and dedication that drove young Gualtiero at the end of the 1800s.
