Villa i Cipressi

Villa i Cipressi was born from Hubert Ciacci’s decision to expand his father’s small beekeeping business, first into honey and olive oil and later, in the 1990s, into vineyards. Today, Hubert, Patrizia, and their sons Dario and Federico manage the estate together, each contributing to a different part of the family project. Federico oversees wine production as oenologist, Dario manages sales and marketing, and Patrizia helps shape the estate’s image and hospitality. The result is a “big little” family estate where wine, oil, honey, and agricultural life are treated as connected expressions of the same land.

Sustainability is central to Villa i Cipressi, from organic farming to the use of solar energy as the estate’s primary power source. The family’s ecological outlook extends beyond avoiding synthetic chemicals; it also includes attention to biodiversity, soil health, and low-impact vineyard work. Horses are used in the vineyards to reduce soil compaction, while the estate’s beekeeping origins continue to shape its agricultural identity. Villa i Cipressi is therefore not only a Brunello producer, but a working Montalcino farm where wine, honey, olive oil, and respect for nature remain closely intertwined.
