Imagine yourself on a sun-drenched hilltop, nestled in the heart of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano's prime winemaking region. You're in Valiano, a quaint village that whispers stories as you journey from Montepulciano towards Cortona. Here, a century-old winery stands proudly, embraced by vineyards that stretch out like welcoming arms. This estate boasts a rich history, dating back to the 1300s when it formed the vibrant core of the Fattoria di Valiano farm. Perched on the edge between the Papal States and the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, and overlooking the breathtaking Val di Chiana, it's been a silent observer to history unfolding. You can almost feel the echoes of the past, including the remarkable reclamation and drainage of the Chiana valley – an engineering marvel first envisioned by Leonardo da Vinci in the 16th century and later brought to fruition by Antonio da Sangallo. This is Val di Chiana, a slice of Tuscan paradise renowned for its fertile lands.
