Chiara Condello

Chiara Condello is one of the most exciting figures in Italian wine. In Predappio, a historic subzone of Emilia-Romagna, she aims to create her own distinctive style – defined by freshness, finesse, and depth. She regularly draws inspiration from Burgundy, which she regards as a model of precision and expression of origin. Her wine comes from a small, carefully selected vineyard on the edge of a forest, at an altitude of 150 to 300 m. The soils – calcareous and clay-rich, interlaced with tuffaceous and marly rocks from the Pliocene era, known as Spungone – are rich in marine deposits, giving the wines both complexity and minerality. The Condello family originally hails from Calabria. In 2001, her father Francesco founded the Condé estate in Emilia-Romagna. There, Chiara gained valuable experience before setting out to realise her own vision: a purist, terroir-driven Sangiovese that highlights the typicity of Predappio. In the vineyard, she works according to organic principles; in the cellar, she intervenes as little as possible. The result: elegant, characterful wines with a clear personal signature – deeply rooted in their origin.
