Belvedere1 is the winery of One Belvedere Tuscany, producing unfiltered wines from Sangiovese and native varieties in Castellina in Chianti. Its vineyard land includes 9.8149 hectares formally recorded as “In Conversion” under QCertificazioni, with the conversion period scheduled to end on 28 July 2028.
Every Belvedere1 wine begins with its place of origin. Vineyard management within the organic-conversion process, together with spontaneous fermentation and a minimal-intervention approach in the cellar, allows the vineyard and vintage to remain central to each wine. Each bottle is an intimate, handcrafted expression of the land that shaped it. But what truly sets our wines apart is our terroir: our land, our essence, captured in every bottle, waiting to be savored.
Our approach is simple: we allow the wine’s natural uniqueness to shine, striving to preserve what nature so generously offers. Fermentation is never forced. It’s guided by the native yeasts that arrive in the cellar through the thin layer of natural wax coating each grape, ensuring that every tank, like every person, carries its own distinct microbiota Aging takes place in different areas: wood barrels, concrete vats or stainless tanks allowing the wine to breathe and mature without overwhelming its essence.
Each bottle is filled by hand, unfiltered, preserving its pure expression.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
OUR PHILOSOPHY
At Belvedere1 Winery, quality begins in the vineyard rather than the cellar. Our approach combines soil-focused vineyard management, cover crops, green manure, regenerative practices and careful human work, keeping the vineyard and vintage, rather than technology, at the centre of each wine.
We approach winemaking with humility. In terroirs as important as Chianti Classico, to craft a wine with a true sense of place, to bring forth something truly unique, you must protect its authenticity. That is the true source of real joy, and it is reproduced in no other way.
The techniques are very simple as very important:
- grape harvested by hand in full ripening
- collected in small boxes
- soft destemming
- no crushing
- spontaneous fermentation
the cellar
the cellar
To renew the old is the essence of our philosophy at Belvedere1 Winery. We have followed the wisdom of the farmers of yore: the land is not here to be shaped by us; we are shaped by the land.
What was once an abandoned tractor shed, left in disrepair, has been carefully restored over two years to a ‘maternity ward’ for wines.
We have brought forth a true cellar, one that respects the rhythms of nature and crafts the handcrafted, one-of-a-kind wine that makes our hearts sing. Concrete vats, shaped like tulip buds, alongside grand casks and a select few barrels, nurture our grapes from harvest to bottling.
Concrete, a pillar of tuscan farming tradition, offers more than space – it breathes with a natural porosity that gently aids in the wine’s aging. Beyond function, it is also incredibly beautiful on the eyes.
As for the wood we use, bear in mind the Sangiovese grape; it is regal but temperamental, much like royalty. It cannot be forced, but must be gently coaxed. Heavy oak would only suppress its voice, concealing the expressive freedom it desires. Instead, we use large casks, where the wood’s subtle touch nurtures the grape, allowing it to flourish without masking the land’s imprint on its soul.
