La Ginestra

Since 1989, they have been organic in all their farming and started working naturally since 2012. They work as a true farm – utilizing crop and grazing rotation with cows (they also have pigs) over their 50 hectares of land. They are producing a wide range of wines that both honor and obtain their Chianti and Riserva DOCG and push into newer expressions with pét-nats, macerated whites, amphora, and fresher, lighter reds. Beyond the farming and winemaking, they also have a restaurant and agroturismo on the property.
La Ginestra continues to push into newer directions as it is now mostly composed of a younger generation who live on and work the land together. - Zev Rovine Selections

About the Winemaker

La Ginestra


In 1978, a collective effort to reclaim abandoned land from expropriation marked the humble beginnings of La Ginestra farm. Guided by a pioneering spirit and aided by industrious goats, the land was painstakingly cleared of overgrowth, paving the way for a new chapter in agricultural stewardship. Year by year, the farm flourished, transitioning from the initial cultivation of cereals and legumes to the intricate art of beekeeping and viticulture. Embracing organic practices since 1989 and a natural approach since 2012, La Ginestra embodies the essence of sustainable farming. Across their expansive 50 hectares, a harmonious cycle of crop and grazing rotation, alongside resident cows and pigs, sustains the land's vitality.
