"I am a Tuscan wine and oil producer and, like other Tuscan producers who go back many generations, I am confronted every day with the legacy of centuries and the evolution of time . I believe that when love for your estate, vineyards and olive groves is transmitted generation after generation, it gets into your DNA. The heritage of CASTELLO DI POPPIANO in  Chianti Colli Fiorentini, represents to me the tradition of the Guicciardini since the XI century . I felt the need to create something new, setting up from scratch the estate MASSI DI MANDORLAIA in Morellino di Scansano, in Maremma (the southern coastal area of Tuscany) . In both these estates my wife Annamaria (Titti) and myself  have given much of ourselves with the desire that our love for our heritage can be transmitted to others through our products. I heartily wish Bernardo , my nephew and adopted son and to his son Paolino to continue this way with the same passion. We take pleasure in welcoming you into our website, and invite you to learn more about us, our people, estates, wines and olive oil." Ferdinando Gucciardini
