Dianella

Dianella is in Vinci, birthplace of the genius Leonardo. Vinci is part of the Montalbano, west of Florence, one of the areas of Chianti DOCG, characterised by soft wines with intense flavours.
The hamlet of Dianella dates back to the 16th century. It is made up of a few houses, the church of “San Michele de Aliana” and the Villa, one of the Medici hunting lodges. Dianella derives from “Diana”, goddess of the hunt.
After the Medici, the estate became the property of the Fucini family. Here the poet Renato Fucini composed most of his works. It is certain that wine production was already present at that time.
In the early 1900s Dianella was bought by the Billeri family, up to the Counts Passerin d'Entrèves et Courmayeur.
