Bocelli
The Bocelli family has agricultural roots. The wines of BOCELLI1831 are an expression of the Bocelli family’s heritage and vision, which began in 1831 and has been passed down through successive generations, when the Bocelli family started producing Italian wines on their estate in Tuscany. In the 18th century, the Bocellis were sharecroppers at the Spedaletto farm (between Lajatico and Volterra), owned by the Corsini princes. On March 21, 1831, using his savings, Gaspero Bocelli freed himself from being a tenant farmer and became a small landowner, acquiring the Podere Poggioncino for the sum of 1,000 scudi.
For seven generations, the firstborn sons of the Bocelli family have all had names starting with "A." Like Anselmo, the son of Gaspero, like his great-grandfather Antonio, like his son Anselmo, like his grandfather Alcide, as well as Andrea (1958) and his brother Alberto (1961)... and the tradition continues with Amos, Andrea's eldest son, and Alessio, Alberto's eldest son.
The Bocelli family has also decided to capitalize on over 180 years of excellence and passion in winemaking by expanding production beyond their own cellar. Thanks to collaborations with producers in other regions known for their winemaking excellence, the Bocellis aim to continue being ambassadors of the unique passion for excellence and the Made in Italy brand that makes Italy known around the world.
