The Wines
Chiara Aurora
IGT Bianco Alta Valle della Greve
From the happy union of some white grapes in our Ruffoli and Dudda vineyards – a part of which is used to produce the splendid RICHIARI, exclusively assigned to ENOTECA PINCHIORRI – was born the new version of CHIARA AURORA. A delicate and fresh expression of the territory, obtained by pressing the previously cooled grapes, then leaving the must in contact with the skins for some time, then – after a careful separation – the alcoholic fermentation takes place, at controlled temperature. The result is a wine with a bright, lively color, with a pale yellow hue, with a slightly aromatic aroma, with light hints of passion fruit, pear, broom and yellow peach. To the taste brings a feeling of freshness and liveliness, with a hint of acidity that makes it pleasantly refreshing and with a long aromatic after taste.
Chianti Classico
DOCG Chianti Classico
A wine which is the maximum expression of its territory and of the grape varieties which compose its blend: first and foremost the Sangiovese of Ruffoli, the magic Chianti Classico hillside in Greve in Chianti. Its forte is the freshness of its aromas and the sheer drinking pleasure which it offers.
Il Carbonaione
Alta Valle della Greve IGT
This is the wine conceived and desired by Vittorio Fiore after long years of study, thought, and working experience and it is the result of an exceptional pairing and synergy: Sangiovese and the Ruffoli vineyards in Greve in Chianti. The results of this synergy – the grapes harvested in the Carbonaione vineyard – are worked with passion and dedication by Vittorio Fiore and his son Jurij in order to obtain a wine of great power and elegance, one capable of expressing in all of its richness the terroir in which it is born.
Capogatto
IGT Alta Valle della Greve
It is both a wine and a challenge which Jurij Fiore, a professional winemaker trained in Burgundy, posed to himself, in this case measuring himself against grapes entirely of Bordeaux origin. The results are simply excellent, i.e. a wine which is refined and complex in aroma, suave, velvety, and austere on the palate.
Piantonaia
Alta Valle della Greve IGT
Produced entirely form Merlot grapes in a Vineyard located on the higher part of the Ruffoli hill in the heart of Chianti Classico. An aromatic impact which amazes for its originality and convinces with its sobriety on the palate, the sensations of richness, fullness, and amplitude with which its flavors are endowed.
Richiari
IGT Alta Valle della Greve
A Chardonnay from the Ruffoli hill in the heart of the Chianti Classico appellation, a wine and a challenge which reassumes and shows all the elegance which this grape variety can offer in its finest expressions, given further complexity and class by aging in oak barrels.

The Olive Oil
Il Corto
Olio di Oliva Extravergine
PODERE POGGIO SCALETTE cultivates approximately a thousand olive trees, some centuries-old. They are located in a part of the estates between 350 and 450 metres (1150 and 1500 feet) above sea level (a parcel known as “Il Corto”). At this altitude various diseases which elsewhere might strike olive groves are not present and, accordingly, no protective spraying of any sort is practiced.
The olives – Moraiolo, Leccino, and Frantoio the varieties – are handpicked from early November on when they have achieved the proper degree of ripeness. One which guarantees that the extra-virgin olive oil produced will have the characteristic fragrance and the savoury flavour which are typical of fine olive oil from the hills of Chianti Classico.
The harvest olives, within a maximum period of three to four days, are brought to the olive mill where they are pressed and the oil extracted by a cold–temperature process which gives an oil of the highest possible quality, which is then stored away from damaging sources of light or oxygen.
