One place, one story, wines to discover.
Each estate has its own character: landscape, memory, and work in the vineyard become the starting point for discovering its wines.
History, wine, and contemporary art
Casuccio Tarletti
A stone farmhouse with the broad foundations typical of the area overlooks the hills around Siena, where green and red rows of vines draw the landscape around the estate. Casuccio Tarletti presents itself as a place where winegrowing meets the territory, its memory, and a form of hospitality open to tasting and discovery.
Between Chianti and legend
As you approach Tenuta Casuccio Tarletti, a legendary setting begins to emerge. The estate stands in an area tied to the medieval struggles between Florence and Siena, where the two cities, exhausted by bloody battles for this precious corner of Tuscany, are said to have decided the matter through an unusual arbitration. At the cock’s crow, two knights would leave their respective cities and mark the Siena-Florence border at the point where they met. The Florentine Black Rooster gave Florence much of this land, where a precious ruby-red wine with unmistakable aromas is still born today. Casuccio Tarletti extends over more than seven hectares of vineyards and includes a multifunctional structure where wine evolves in steel tanks, 30 HL oak casks, and barriques. It is also a place for tasting, with a large garden where guests can enjoy the Tuscan sun and the story of the estate.
Art and wine
This Chianti never ceases to surprise: here, contemporary art finds increasing space alongside wine. In Castelnuovo Berardenga, in the heart of Chianti Classico, one of the works of B.A.C., the Borgo di Arte Contemporanea, has taken shape. The project, promoted also thanks to Piero Giadrossi of the Chianti Sculpture Park, progressively involves the whole Black Rooster area together with wine producers. Casuccio Tarletti and its spaces host one of the first works installed within B.A.C., becoming a standard-bearer for the initiative with “The Metropolitan Ostriches” by Yu Zhaoyang. Proposed in computer graphics by the Chinese artist and made in thermo-welded metal, the work consists of two figures 5 metres and 60 centimetres high, anchored to a concrete base and facing between two cypresses as if looking through a fantastic window: an invitation to rediscover nature and hide from metropolitan confusion.
