Azienda Agricola Agrituristica La Pievuccia di Papini Riccardo

In Castiglion Fiorentino, at the Arezzo end of the Valdichiana, La Pievuccia di Papini Riccardo operates within the twelve municipalities of the DOC Valdichiana toscana. This is a single denomination, yet its breadth allows for a range of grape varieties: Sangiovese, Cabernet franc and sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah, used either in purity or in blends. From this palette emerge primarily red wines, forming the core of their offering, alongside whites and Chardonnay. The wines' profile is crafted within the parameters of the regulations, starting from the minimum alcohol content of 10% which sets the baseline. This is a technical detail, but indicative of how the company approaches its work: structure and territorial expression held in balance, without forcing, within a framework of precise rules. Although not open to visitors, La Pievuccia can be seen as a concentrated example of what the Valdichiana toscana allows a single producer — a single denomination expressed through multiple varieties, in a corner of eastern Tuscany often overlooked.
