 A CASTAGNETO"Della natura tua, forte e cortese, l'ombra restò nel memore pensier, come il tuo vino, o mio dolce paese, il mio verso fervea gentile e austera. Giosuè Carducci. Castagneto Carducci, 26 aprile 1879 |

The name Castagneto appeared for the first time with the foundation of the Monastery of S. Peter in Palazzolo in Monteverdi (754). It originates from castaneum, which is linked to the cultivation of the soil; while Monteverdi comes from Monteviride, Suvereto from suber (cork oak), Sassetta from saxum (rock), Segalari from secale (rye). The Vigna al Cavaliere is in the adjoining area, on the northern edge of Michele Satta's estate, along the road that for centuries has led down from Castagneto towards Pievi. The cavaliere to which the name refers was Angiolo Bottai, from Castagneto a light cavalryman of the Grand Duchy, which owned this part of the coast at the beginning of the nineteenth century. The area was also described as Chiusa del Cavaliere. Luciano Bezzini "Vini Bolgheri e di Castagneto Carducci". Photogallery |
