Jazz and a glass of Chianti Classico in the church of San Lorenzo at Bibbiano. As part of “Coltiviamo la Cultura“, the initiative now in its fifth edition and promoted by the Associazione Dimore Storiche Italiane in collaboration with Confagricoltura, Tenuta di Bibbiano opens its doors to the public for an afternoon dedicated to celebrating the history and local traditions. The highlight of the day will be a concert by a young jazz group created in partnership with Siena Jazz. An initiative that combines the universal language of music with the wine identity of a territory where culture and agriculture have been deeply intertwined for centuries.
Located in the municipality of Castellina in Chianti, in a panoramic position overlooking the Val d’Elsa and the Monteriggioni castle, Tenuta di Bibbiano has belonged to the Marrocchesi Marzi family since 1865 and represents one of the oldest Chianti Classico properties still owned by the same family.
Today the estate is managed by the fifth generation of the family, which continues the winemaking tradition through a commitment founded on values of responsibility towards the territory and the wines that express its identity, and harmony in respecting the vocation of the land, the rhythms of nature and the wealth of knowledge passed down through time. The participation in the Festa dell’Agricoltura fits perfectly within this vision, offering the opportunity to highlight the connection between historical heritage, agricultural landscape and wine production.
“Coltiviamo la Cultura”, promoted by the Associazione Dimore Storiche Italiane ETS, under the patronage of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food Sovereignty and Forests, takes place this year for the first time in collaboration with Confagricoltura, with the involvement of Confagricoltura Donna. The initiative includes extraordinary openings and events at historic estates throughout Italy, with the aim of showcasing the role of these properties not only as custodians of art and memory, but also as productive places and active safeguards in the protection of the landscape and the development of local communities.
In Tuscany, there are five estates participating, including Tenuta di Bibbiano, which with its century-old history and wine production still active today, testifies to the dialogue between tradition and contemporary times that characterizes Italian rural heritage. Participation in the event is free. For more information about the initiative: www.associazionedimorestoricheitaliane.it
