A Rich Tuscan Heritage
Travignoli prides itself on a venerable lineage, recognized as one of Italy's 150 oldest enterprises. Their vineyards boast a deep-rooted history in viticulture, harking back to the sophisticated Etruscan civilization of 500 BC, who were pioneers in wine cultivation and viticultural innovation.

Historical Timeline

500 BC: The discovery of an ancient Etruscan stele at Travignoli portrays an opulent wine feast, revealing the cultural significance of wine in their daily and spiritual life.
1100 AC: Vallembrosan annals document the existence of vineyards at the site of Travignoli dating to November 28, 1100.
1473: Travignoli and its adjoining farms are bequeathed to the Florentine hospital Santa Maria Nuova by its last private owner, Aloisia.
1607: The estate is highlighted as the crown jewel of Santa Maria Nuova's properties by its hospital director, Barnaba degli Oddi, featuring extensive cellars and productive oil mills.
1800: Post the union of Sofia Cuccoli Fiaschi and Count Francesco Busi, Villa Travignoli is integrated into the Busi lineage.
1924: Count Clemente Busi's exceptional Chianti wine secures a gold medal at Rome's international wine exhibition. His pioneering spirit leads him to become a co-founder of the Chianti Putto Consortium in 1927.
1960: Giampiero Busi revolutionizes the estate from sharecropping to direct cultivation, advancing the winemaking process with new technologies.

Today, under the stewardship of Giovanni Busi, the family's dedication to excellence is honored with the "Italia 150" accolade from Unioncamere Nazionale, celebrating Travignoli's enduring legacy as a pillar of Italian enterprise.

2023 Milestone
The Busi family marked the 550th anniversary of Villa Travignoli by hosting a global gathering of importers, commemorating this exceptional testament to history and tradition.

This company really knows their stuff and recommended our family to stay longer in each location. We didn't listen to them, but wished we had in every single place we went. They recommended Sestri Levante over the Cinque Terre which was our favourite destination on our entire trip.

I went to high school with the owner of the company who organized my honeymoon for myself and my now wife from Tokyo. We spent three short weeks seeing Piedmont and experiencing wine paradise there, then heading to Nice in France with our private driver and flying to Rome where honestly 4 days is NOT enough. They keep saying to spend more time and we could not agree more! You need to spend more ti ... [Read More]
