Agricole Selvi – Four Generations of Passion for Wine from Tuscany
Amid the picturesque hills of Tuscany, one of the most famous and significant wine regions in the world, lies the estate Agricole Selvi from Barberino Tavarnelle. For more than twenty years, this extraordinary family winery has embodied the soul of Tuscan wine culture: for four generations, the Falorni family has lived and breathed winemaking – and this deep rootedness in the land is perceptible in every single drop. Today Andrea Falorni leads the company and has made the estate a distinctive synonym for quality, authenticity and a spirit of innovation. The winery uniquely combines family tradition with modern winemaking craft, creating wines that enthuse wine lovers worldwide.
History and Tradition: An Estate with Deep Roots
Founded as a small family estate, Agricole Selvi underwent a decisive transformation in 2012: Andrea Falorni, fourth-generation descendant of the winemaker Armando Falorni, took the helm and led the company into the future with fresh energy and a clear vision. His great-grandfather Armando had already stood behind the counter of the family wine shop in Tuscany in the 1920s – a story that lives on today in every bottle of Agricole Selvi. The year 2014 brought another important turning point when Agricole Selvi joined forces with Piergiorgio Castellani, the renowned owner of Cantina Castellani. This strategic partnership united decades of experience in international wine trade with the distinctive terroir character of Barberino Tavarnelle, opening new markets and opportunities for the estate.
Terroir and Cultivation Philosophy: Sustainability in Focus
The vineyards of Agricole Selvi extend across the gentle hills of the Chianti area, a terrain that with its calcareous clay soils, Mediterranean climate and ideal elevations between 250 and 450 metres offers optimal conditions for the Sangiovese grape. Respect for nature lies at the heart of all the work: sustainable cultivation methods, careful hand-harvesting and nature-friendly work in the cellar guarantee wines that reflect their origin honestly and authentically. The traditional Governo method – a time-honoured Tuscan technique in which dried grapes are added for secondary fermentation – lends selected wines a special depth, complexity and an unmistakable character that shows Tuscany in its most beautiful form.
The Wine Range: From Classics to Innovation
The range of Agricole Selvi spans from classic DOCG creations to modern IGT wines that capture the spirit of the times while respecting tradition. The great strength of the estate lies in the harmonious balance between respect for tradition and an open eye for the new. Every wine tells a story – from careful hand-tending in the vineyard through selective harvesting to sensitive maturation in the cellar. The red wines of Agricole Selvi captivate with power, elegance and silky tannins, while the white wines impress with fresh fruitiness and lively aromatics. The philosophy is: wine is more than a drink – it is an expression of passion, artisanal skill and proud provenance.
