The town of Panzano is perched along the ridge that divides the Pesa River valley (Val di Pesa) from the Greve River Valley (Valle della Greve), in the heart of Chianti Classico, and is considered one of the most important wine areas of the zone, let alone all of Tuscany. Just above the town, along the same ridge, is a villa that once overlooked the “Stinche Alte” prison of the Medici. Friends and families of inmates in this prison used to gather at this villa to send waves (cenni) to their loved ones in the prison below, and thus the site became known as “Cennatoio”. Leandro Alessi purchased the Cennatoio villa in 1971 as a country home for his family.
