VILLA LA RIPA
In a gorgeous Renaissance Villa, built on a green hill of central Tuscany (80 km. from Florence or Siena, 200 km. from Rome). Here, where the art of the vineyard has been handed down for centuries. The first owner was the Roman Marco Peconio (2,200 years ago). His name derives from Pacho, god of wine, better known by his Latin name Bacchus. Centuries later the property passed to the Ricoveri family, who built a fortified palace with an adjoining tower which is still visible today. However, the current shape of the villa is due to the Gualtieri family, an important family of poets, cardinals and winemakers who acquired it in the Renaissance and registered it in the name of the Order of Santo Stefano. Subsequently the Villa was purchased by the Ubertini family, a noble Aretine family, whose best-known exponent was Guglielmo degli Ubertini, the Leader of the Aretini in the great battle against Florence at Campaldino in the 22nd century.
Today the Luzzi family wants to remain in the tradition of winemaking, focusing everything on the quality of the wine and tradition but with a touch of modernity in marketing, PR and customer assistance.
