2024 Tenuta La Novella ‘Sambrena’ Bianco 750mL

Perched at 500 meters above sea level in the Chianti Classico hills between Florence and Siena, Tenuta La Novella is a historic estate that has been carefully brought back to life. After decades of abandonment, French entrepreneur Francois Schneider acquired the property in 1996 and spent more than a decade restoring the vineyards, olive groves, and centuries-old cellars.

Today, winemaker Simone Zemella and his assistant Lorenzo Morandi continue to shape the estate, producing wines alongside olive oil and honey from the surrounding landscape. With vineyards, olive trees, and beehives integrated into the farm, La Novella represents the traditional Tuscan idea of a self-sustaining estate.
