Greve in Chianti, Tuscany, Door to the wine cellar of Savignola Paolina Winery - 052814-009

The Savignola Paolina Winery is located in Greve in Chianti. We were extremely fortunate to have a private wine tasting hosted by the owner, Carlo Fabbri. Carlo is a lovely man, gracious, kind, and generous. Truly, an "old time" Italian gentleman.

Savignola, whose name has Etruscan origins, was known as a Christian settlement, built around the first half of the seventeenth century.

In 1780, the Fabbri family purchased Savignola, starting wine production in the second half of the 1800s. But, the first real success of Savignola was due to the efforts of Paolina, who between the two world wars - initially by assisting her widowed mother and then directly - took charge of the company and created its present name: Savignola Paolina. With the death of Paolina, who was in her nineties, in 1988, her grandson Carlo started to run the company. He was later joined by his daughter Ludovica, who then became the owner in 1998.

Thank you all for visiting and for your gracious and appreciated comments! I wish I could thank each of you personally.
Have a great creative day!
