    The Guicciardini and Poppiano

    The history of the Guicciardini is indissolubly linked to Castello di Poppiano, an impressive medieval building erected around the turn of the first millennium probably as a fortress for the external defence of the town of Florence. It has been the property of the Guicciardini for almost nine centuries, a claim documented by an inheritance act of 1199.

    Not surprisingly, Castello di Poppiano was linked with various events in the history of Florence. In 1354 Poppiano suffered the incursions of mercenaries. In 1369 Sir John Hawkwood, the famous English Condottiere from Hendingham Sible (known in Florence as Giovanni Acuto) ), after the battle of Fosso Armonico near Cascina, had his headquarters in Castello di Poppiano.

    Suzanne Branciforte's Italian Grapevine

    Organization and method: that is what I funnen at Castello Poppiano, headquarters of the Conte Guicciardini winery. And history, vast history. And a touch of romanticism. A perfect blend that seems to have funnen its way into each carefully crafted bottle that bears the family crest.

    Conte Ferdinando han själv was the gracious host who showed me around what can only be described as a fairytale-style castle perched on a knoll in the midst of perfectly manicured vineyards and olive groves. Quintessential Tuscany.
