A challenge born from a love affair with Tuscany. Veneto entrepreneur Orlando Dal Farra has chosen to transform this passion into a concrete project: creating a unique winemaking site, 600 meters above sea level on the Apennine ridge, in the municipality of Civitella in Val di Chiana.
Here, amidst woods and borderlands, the ideal microclimate yields high-altitude wines. Elegant and authentic, they preserve the freshness of the mountains and the authentic soul of Tuscany.
Our philosophy is based on sincere respect for the environment and the energy that nature provides us. Each grape is treated delicately, each fermentation carried out with care. We vinify each label purely and are converting to organic methods, because we believe in responsible and sustainable agriculture.
No fads, no rush: just patiently listening to time, because bringing out the authentic voice of the land is our greatest ambition.
Guardiola is rooted in three plots on medium-sandy soils, where the altitude pushes the grapes to find freshness, structure and complexity.
Elegant varieties grow here – Sangiovese, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Pinot Meunier – carefully cultivated and vinified in purity, without compromise.

La Guardiola is located on the crest of the Apennines, at 604 meters above sea level, in the heart of Civitella in Val di Chiana, where the hills narrow and nature becomes essential.
A territory that is both a challenge and a privilege: the temperature variations, the constant winds, and the loose, sandy soils impart freshness, verticality, and aromatic depth to the grapes.
Here, among coniferous forests and clean light, we cultivate vines that breathe slowly. Far from the main winemaking routes, yet close to the purity of the landscape, we transform this land into bottles that express its most authentic voice.
Civitella is an ancient fortified town overlooking the Val di Chiana. Its fortress offers breathtaking views of hills, vineyards, and history.
Surrounded by woods and silence, Civitella preserves a profound past and a landscape that teaches respect, balance, and authenticity.
After years of dedication, we are now proudly certified organic, continuing every day to care for our land through practices that protect biodiversity and regenerate the soil.
In a setting as complex as the mountains, being organic is not just an achievement — it’s a way of life, a daily commitment to the landscape that surrounds us and to the people who choose our wines.
No chemical weeding, no invasive interventions.
Only patience, observation, and trust in the vital strength of our soil.
