the symbol of Chianti Classico excellence, is located in one of the most beautiful wine-growing areas in the Tuscan region, near Florence. At the head of the company today is Francesco Rossi Ferrini, who bought La Sala in 2014, thus concluding an important agronomic project - the union of the two wineries 'La Sala' and 'Il Torriano' with land historically suited to viticulture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After purchasing La Sala, Francesco undertook a major modernisation of the cellar and vineyard, converting the winery to organic and sustainable agriculture. The winery's vineyards extend over 32 hectares and lie between 150 and 350 metres above sea level. La Sala del Torriano produces no more than 50,000 bottles per year, the rest is sold in bulk. The winery's portfolio includes four important red wines: Toscana IGT Campo all'Albero, Chianti Classico, Chianti Classico Riserva, Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Il Torriano and Vin Santo del Chianti Classico, produced from Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Trebbiano and Malvasia grapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
