Casa al Vento
Gaiole in Chianti, Italy
Casa al Vento suits travellers who want Chianti Classico to feel inseparable from the place around it: vineyards, restored rural architecture, quiet hills, and a hospitality format built around wine, wellness, and Tuscan food. Its estate scale is modest, with 8.5 hectares of vines and about 25,000 bottles a year, giving the experience a small-production lens rather than a grand-cellar spectacle.
