Fattoria Lavacchio
A family-owned and run estate in the Chianti DOCG area, Fattoria Lavacchio is the David of the Rufina sub-zone, historically dominated by the Goliath, the Frescobaldi family, since the 15th century.
Under the wise guidance of Faye Lottero, Fattoria Lavacchio produces great organic Chianti, Puro DOC and Cedro Rufina DOCG, both available also in Riserva. They tend to be smoother and easier to enjoy than a normal Chianti. This objective is reached with a very important selection in the vine and a clever use of the large wood barrel in the cellar.
Ludiè, a Rufina from a single vineyard, is a Sangiovese in purity and competes with all the best expressions of famous super-Tuscan wines, for a quarter of the price.
The products of Fattoria Lavacchio are certified organic by ICEA – Istituto per la Certificazione Etica ed Ambientale with Certificates of Conformity number 10159 (Ludié, Puro) and 9655 (Cedro). In addition to these European certifications, Puro Chianti DOCG and Puro Chianti Riserva DOCG are also USDA certified organic.

Puro Chianti DOCG 2020
An organic Chianti with no added sulphites. On the nose, scents of cranberries and cherries, pomegranate and wet forest floor, followed by pine tree and a note of humid stones. It is fresh and crisp, with firm tannins. Persistent enough and intense, it is an everyday excellent Chianti.
Puro Chianti Riserva DOCG 2016
An organic and pure (as its name) Chianti made with 100% Sangiovese grape from the Rufina area north of Florence. Scents of ripe blackberries and blackcurrants, notes of candied violets, nutmeg and eucalyptus, wet sand to refresh the aromas. On the palate Puro Riserva is persistent, smooth and balanced.
Puro Pét Nat IGT Toscana Bianco Frizzante
An example of the winemaker’s ability in creating innovative wines without losing quality, Puro Pét-Nat Bianco is the result of many months of research and testing. It is the success of a natural re-fermentation in the bottle without disgorging. Elegant to the nose, with notes of white peach and white grapefruit. The wine is fresh and mineral with a very pleasant and crisp finish.
Puro Pét Nat IGT Toscana Rosé Frizzante
Perfect for natural wine lovers and people interested in discovering new flavour profiles. Puro Pet-Nat Rosato is the result of many months of research and testing. It is the success of a natural re-fermentation in the bottle without disgorging.Citrusy and intense, with notes of red berries and spices. Good acidity and vivacity come through due to its low alcohol content.
Cedro Chianti Rufina DOCG 2019
Cedro is ruby and starts with very typical scent of violets, followed by wild strawberries and raspberries. Light sweet spices, wet calcareous sandstone, iron and wet cut grass integrate well with the prevalent fruity note. On the palate it is smooth, with elegant tannins never overwhelming and a bright acidity in the back.
Cedro Chianti Rufina Riserva DOCG 2016
Garnet in color and a little more complex, it adds iron and leather notes to the fruity, floral and spicy flavors of Cedro. The texture is round and long in the finish.
Ludié Chianti Rufina DOCG 2011
Ludié is a high quality Chianti Rufina produced with Sangiovese in purity. On the nose it is complex, with dark berries and morello cherries jam, chocolate, bay leaves and eucalyptus. On the palate it is powerful yet fresh, elegant and with not overwhelming tannins.
