Terreno Information

Terreno is situated in the heart of Chianti Classico, close to the village of Greve in Chianti, where vine has been cultivated since Roman times. We, the Ruhne family, started making wine here in 1988, joining something of the dynamism and pragmatism of Swedish culture with a deep respect for the centuries-old traditions of Chianti Classico. Terreno is a large estate, fully organic since 2014, covering a total area of 150 hectares, 20 of which are dedicated to vineyards and 10 to olive groves, with the remaining part consisting mainly of woodland. Vineyards are planted with local grape varietals, including Sangiovese - which plays the leading role - as well as Canaiolo and Colorino among the reds, Trebbiano and Malvasia among the whites. A small portion of international vines completes the picture, for an annual production of around 100,000 bottles. Terreno is a modern Chianti Classico estate run by Sofia Ruhne, second generation of our family. After a long apprenticeship in the company, Sofia now runs the estate, supported by a staff of technicians and collaborators of recognized talent, directed by Federico Staderini and coordinated by Giacomo Fioravanti.
