The Savignola Paolina Winery is located in Greve in Chianti. We were extremely fortunate to have a private wine tasting hosted by the owner, Carlo Fabbri. Carlo is a lovely man, gracious, kind, and generous. Truly, an "old time" Italian gentleman. Savignola, whose name has Etruscan origins, was known as a Christian settlement, built around the first half of the seventeenth century. In 1780, the Fabbri family purchased Savignola, starting wine production in the second half of the 1800s. But, the first real success of Savignola was due to the efforts of Paolina, who between the two world wars - initially by assisting her widowed mother and then directly - took charge of the company and created its present name: Savignola Paolina. With the death of Paolina, who was in her nineties, in 1988, her grandson Carlo started to run the company. He was later joined by his daughter Ludovica, who then became the owner in 1998.

Montelcino, Italy - Home of Brunello!!! I shot this while hanging out of the passenger side window of our vehicle as we drove on a single lane road. Very narrow with a steep drop off so I could not exit for a better set up for the image. Just could not pass up this opportunity.

We visited the Savignola Paolina Winery located in the gorgeous Tuscan countryside of Greve in Chianti. We were hosted by the owner, Carlo. He is the ultimate Italian gentleman. We met his gracious wife and enjoyed a private wine tasting of the Chianti wines produced at the winery. A memorable experience!
