i. Biography
Niccolò Chioccioli Altadonna works as Wine Production Manager at Chioccioli in Greve in Chianti, where the house’s operating rule is plain: wine comes first. As he puts it, “We are a wine producer and our spirit is coming straight from wine,” a line that reads less like branding than inherited practice. That inheritance is explicit as well: “I am the second generation of this project.”
The Climb
Training at University of Florence gave Niccolò Chioccioli Altadonna a formal base for work built on close attention to aroma, texture, and balance. The progression from study to cellar is in practical terms: learning to observe, compare, and refine. That discipline matches the work itself, where the standard is measured in how carefully a wine is read and adjusted. Today, Niccolò Chioccioli Altadonna serves as Master Distiller and Wine Production Manager of Chioccioli Altadonna, a position at the center of the house’s daily decisions. The role calls for technical control and continuity, since the work is not only about production but about carrying a family identity that is articulated through wine. In Greve in Chianti, that makes the job feel structural rather than ceremonial.
Today
The current post is the Greve role: wine production management at Chioccioli. It is a compact remit, but one with a clear direction. Everything in it returns to the producer’s identity and to the wine-first language he uses for both cellar and house spirit. The emphasis is on fidelity to a central idea, repeated calmly and put into practice day after day.
Signature
Fossimare Ultraleggero and Pirocanto - Toscana Bianco IGT 2023 are listed among Niccolò’s signature wines. Together they show how a house style is shaped through named bottlings, with each wine carrying the mark of the producer’s choices. They sit as working examples of his output, and as points of reference for the estate’s broader language.
In Their Words “It was my father who stimulated my curiosity, who encouraged me to try and distinguish between the multitudes of aromas and scents.” “We are a wine producer and our spirit is coming straight from wine.”
Recognition
Recognition here is occupational rather than ornamental: a career organized around wine production management. For Niccolò Chioccioli Altadonna, the clearest acknowledgment is the stability of the role itself, where training, inheritance, and daily practice meet in one focused professional identity.
