The bond between Tommaso Cavalli and his land has its origins in a true passion which has taken shape in the form of the estate owned by the family since the early seventies, Tenuta degli Dei, to which Tommaso and his father Roberto have devoted thirty years of intensive work. The estate is located in the village of San Leolino, near Panzano in Chianti. The territory’s characteristics make it ideal for horse-breeding. The vineyards have been planted in the Conca d’Oro valley which, thanks to its soil and exposure to sunlight, is perfectly suitable for wine-growing. Tenuta Degli Dei embodies the Cavalli family’s lifelong commitment to farming, wine-making and horse-breeding, the symbols of Tuscany in the world.
