Cantine Cantalici : 500 years of history to tell
The first evidence of the furnace, the oldest part of the farm, dates back to a map of the sixteenth century, and identifies it precisely as the "Furnace of Ridolfo Zati", dowry for the marriage of a rich Florentine citizen.
Loris, our father, bought this plot of land in the 70s, and when we go to the barrel cellar making visits with tasting, we want to stop for a moment at the furnace, because it combines past and present.
