Giacomo Tachis is known as the father of the Super Tuscan wines, and is credited with the Italian wine renaissance. Podere La Villa was his vineyard.

Located in one of the most enchanting valleys of the Chianti Classico region-Val di Pesa; just 20 minutes from Florence and 40 from Siena, consists of 27 acres of land, 7 of which are dedicated to vineyards.

It all began in 2004, the year in which Giacomo Tachis decided to renovate one of the oldest vineyards on the estate, convinced that Sangiovese and Merlot would find an ideal home..

Already from the first maturation of 2007, when it was not yet thought to make wine, but to sell the grapes for a small profit, it was in fact realized, that these grapes could indeed produce excellent wine if cultivated with care, and above all, with the commitment and passion needed. In 2007, however, with the birth of Riccardo, Giacomo’s first grandson, it was decided to celebrate the event with the vinification of the first harvest. The wine obtained was called, not by chance, “Pargolo” (little child or offspring) and to this day, continues to be produced as a Chianti Classico DOCG.  In 2025 the estate also released the first Riserva of Chianti Classico 2022, called “Expecta”.

The Tachis family in the person of Ilaria (daughter of Giacomo) and Raffaele, her husband, with a small and efficient team, aim at producing a maximum of 30,000 quality bottles per year.
