Decordi Chianti DOCG

The Decordi winery traces its history back to 1921, when the family owned a small café serving traditional Italian dishes and wines of their own production. In those years, Decordi produced large quantities of red wines based on Lambrusco, Fortana, and Ancellotta varieties. The wines were so popular with patrons that the family council decided to take winemaking seriously. Thus, in 1925, the foundation was laid for the future winery, which has now existed for 80 years. It was in the 1920s that vineyard cultivation began, and the first wine blends were created, sold both in bulk and in bottles. The Decordi winery was officially registered in 1937, and by 1950, the construction of a plant with an annual production volume of 3 million liters was completed. Most of the products at that time were sold in large bottles and demijohns. By 1964, production volume had increased further, and the winery's market expanded to the neighboring provinces of Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna. In the 1970s, Decordi introduced a new line of wines specifically for the country's restaurant industry. High consumer demand enabled technological upgrades and modernization of equipment, also helping the company reach a new level—in the 1980s, the winery began exporting its wines to Europe and America, and in the 1990s to Japan. Since 2005, Vinicola Decordi has been led by a representative of the fourth generation of the family, Alessandro Decordi, whose efforts are focused on both production development and further conquering the global market.
