The winery

Fattoria Cerraia is an upcoming boutique winery in the heart of the Chianti Classico area in Tuscany, close to the village of Castellina in Chianti in the province of Siena. Castellina is together with Radda and Gaiole one of three historic villages of Chianti with several thousand years wine production history that goes back to Etruscan times. We obtained European organic certification from 2022 after years of organic practices in our vineyard, then demeter certification in 2025.

The vineyard

Our wines are coming from our magical high altitude vineyards that lie just under the village of Castellina in Chianti at 550 meters altitude. The vineyards have a rich "Galestro" (Limestone) and "Arenaria" (Sandstone) profile with miscellaneous texture. It has a south-east exposure that guarantees sun in the morning without the hot afternoon sun producing healthy grapes and elegant wines. Biodynamic plantation and vinefication are practised from year of 2022. 

Some words from Aya

Hey, I am Aya, a Chinese woman who bought a small vineyard in Tuscany in 2019 and started my new stage of life accompanying with vines and wines, and cow shit, hahaha. From the first day to work in the vineyard, I told myself that I would never allow myself to make shit dead wines, otherwise just go to die. I firmly belive in natural wines coming from nature, land and cosmos. There is a Chinese saying: Man proposes, God disposes. So I try my best and let nature decides my wine. Hope you enjoy my wines!
