Castello del Trebbio - Le Anfore
The Castello del Trebbio is located in Pontassieve, in the classic area of Rufina in Chianti and represents one of the most interesting realities of the territory for the quality of its wines and for a particularly respectful approach to nature. The Baj Macario family purchased the estate in 1968, with the intent to create a winery that was a true expression of the best traditions of Chianti. The origins of the Castello di Trebbio are very ancient and are linked to the history of the Pazzi family, wealthy Florentine bankers, who from the 12th century managed the property of the Castle and the adjoining lands, until their fall from grace after the failure of the famous "Pazzi Conspiracy" of 1478 against their rival, the Medici family.
