Made in the Toscana Region
It was in 1870 when the Losis, ancient family of vintners in Chianti, committed to produce their wine according to the new quality standards, becoming defenders of Chianti Classico and sharing its big rise to fame. At that time the family head was Emilio Losi, sensitive to what was happening in those years of change, he devoted himself to winemaking under the new rules dictated by the market. And so did Tranquillo, who as a mezzadro (cropper), dedicated himself especially to cultivation of vines and olive trees surrounding the Chartreuse monastery of Pontignano.
The estate, covers 35 hectares of vineyards, olive groves, arable land and woods on the hills of Chianti, in the Castelnuovo Berardenga municipality. The vineyards extend for over 12 hectares and are located in what has always been known as “wine-land”, because it’s well exposed to the sun and with an excellent ground composition for vine growing. The soil is characterized by clayey substances and stones of limestone and marl. Five of the twelve hectares of the farm have a particular shell shape, reminiscent of the famous Il Campo square, in Siena. Today, these vineyards fall within the Chianti Classico DOCG, and constitute the Losi Family historical productive area.
Quality and Typicality: this indissoluble couple of elements is the fundamentals of the Losi’s philosophy. Since 1870, the Losi Family offers products respectful of tradition and pays attention to the technological evolution. The family has been able to astonish experts and curious persons and more over to stand out as an exemplary model of the Chianti tradition.
