✨ The Chronos Wine Journey continues.
Through this journey, we share the stories of producers from the Chronos Wine selection.
Wineries we believe in, people we know, places that shape our way of understanding wine.
Today, we’re in Franciacorta, Italy.
Not the Franciacorta you expect.
This is 1701.
Founded in 2011 by Silvia and Federico Stefini, 1701 is not just a winery, it’s a vision.
Set on 11 hectares of morainic soils, it was the first Franciacorta to be fully certified biodynamic.
No shortcuts.
No adjustments.
No dosage.
Just grapes, time and precision.
Metodo Classico, stripped back to its core.
Long lees ageing.
No liqueur d’expédition.
No make-up.
The wines are direct.
Clean.
Vibrant with energy.
Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, shaped by mineral soils, expressed without filters.
Around 80k bottles per year.
Artisanal scale, clear identity.
1701 doesn’t try to fit Franciacorta.
It redefines it.
A free spirit, grounded in place.
This is exactly why 1701 is part of Chronos.
