The winery is located in the municipality of Barberino Val d'Elsa (Florence province) in the centre of the Chianti Classico area in the Italian region of Tuscany. The estate has been owned for three generations by the Count Gambaro family, who have been running it themselves since 1060. From the mid-1980s onwards, Giuseppe and Claudia Gamabro improved and renovated the winery according to the latest findings. Today it is managed by their son Dr. Matteo Gambaro, with Dr. Giorgio Marone as oenologist. The estate covers 120 hectares, 40 of which are olive groves. The vineyards account for 30 hectares of which are vineyards. They are planted with the red wine varieties Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Syrah.

The product range includes the DOCG wines Chianti-Classico, Chianti-Classico Riserva (24 months in large wooden barrels and 14 months in the bottle) and Vin Santo del Chianti, as well as the IGT wines Pergliamici and Montarsiccio. Maceration with pre-fermentation is carried out to enhance the aromas. The flagship of the house is the 100% varietal Chianti-Classico Gran Selezione made from selected Sangiovese grapes, fermented in stainless steel at a controlled temperature for 21 days, aged in tonneaux barrels for 30 months and matured for 6 months in the bottle. Annually 100.000 bottles of wine are produced, 80% of which are exported to European countries, as well as the USA and Canada. The winery is a member of the Consorzio Chianti Classico.
