Villa Bibbiani: Historic Tuscany Estate with Innovative Winemaking

Villa Bibbiani’s story begins in 767 AD, with its stunning 16th-century villa built by the illustrious Frescobaldi family—a name synonymous with Tuscany’s winemaking heritage. For over 700 years, the Frescobaldi family has been at the forefront of Italian viticulture, producing some of the most revered wines in the region.

Fast forward to the 1800s, when the visionary Marquis Cosimo Ridolfi took the reins, turning the estate into an agricultural powerhouse and kicking off a legacy of winemaking innovation.

Stretching across nearly 1,000 acres, the estate is a tapestry of vineyards, olive groves, and woodlands, all cultivated with a fierce commitment to biodiversity and sustainability.

Leading the charge in winemaking is Leopoldo Morara, a global expert who’s honed his craft in France, Chile, and New Zealand. Since 2018, he’s been shaping the future of Villa Bibbiani, blending centuries-old traditions with cutting-edge techniques. The result? Wines that are as bold, dynamic, and unexpected as the estate itself.

Exquisite Terroir of Bibbiani

Villa Bibbiani’s vineyards stretch across around 74 acres, where grape varieties like Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Canaiolo, and Colorino flourish. The soil is diverse, influenced by the region’s altitude and unique microclimate. Planted up to 820 feet above sea level, the vines thrive in the Mediterranean climate, with the Arno Valley adding an extra layer of character to the wines. The result? Wines that capture the essence of this exceptional terroir.


The Artisanal Winemaking Approach

Villa Bibbiani employs a gravity-fed winemaking process, minimizing mechanical intervention to preserve the integrity of the grapes. Hand-harvested in small crates, the grapes undergo fermentation in temperature-controlled environments. Aging occurs in a combination of French and Slavonian oak barrels, as well as terracotta amphorae, to enhance the wines' complexity and authenticity. ​

"Villa Bibbiani is much more than a winery, much more than an estate. With 1,300 years of history, its roots trace back to 767 AD, and its 16th-century manor house was built by the noble Frescobaldi family." –Gambero Rosso, Italy's Leading Wine Guide
