Fattoria Il Muro Spigallo Chianti DOCG

Vinum Lector Staff — Thu, 26 Sep 2024 11:07:09 +0000

Fattoria Il Muro has been owned by the Pancaro family for about 200 years and has always been dedicated to viticulture, thanks to the favorable environmental conditions. The presence of soils rich in galestro and the climate, characterized by strong temperature variations due to the proximity to the Alpe di Poti, create a micro-environment that enhances the organoleptic qualities and healthiness of the grapes. This allows for the adoption of environmentally friendly cultivation practices. The vineyards and olive groves extend mainly on hilly terrain that gently slopes towards the valley plain of the Castro stream. At Fattoria Il Muro they started to call their Chianti, Spigallo, in 2011, when they changed the farm’s image and decided to adopt a cock pecking a sheaf of wheat as their logo. The decision was made because they found this picture in their villa since in the past it was used as the family crest. The name Spigallo is a pun because it’s the union for the Italian words “spiga” (sheaf of wheat) and “gallo” (cock) which are both in the final, symbolic logo.

Fattoria Il Muro Lama Chardonnay di Toscana IGT

This allows for the adoption of environmentally friendly cultivation practices. The vineyards and olive groves extend mainly on hilly terrain that gently slopes towards the valley plain of the Castro stream. The name Lama comes from the name of a close “podere”, in which the family of a farmer used to live during the old times of “mezzadria”. “Mezzadria” was an old way to conduct the farm which envisaged the division of land into small lots (podere) inhabited and cultivated by peasants who paid the estate owners with half the product of their land.
