The Winery
In the rolling hills near Lucca lies the Villa Santo Stefano winery, and it is a dreamlike moment when the sun rises to reveal wine, olive trees, an ancient cultural landscape and the magical Lucca Valley
We are united by our love for the magic of Tuscany - and our passion for producing the best of this ancient cultural landscape ourselves: wine and virgin olive oil. It all started in 2001. At that time, Wolfgang Reitzle acquired the “Villa Bertolli” near Lucca, with a few olive groves and a hectare of wine.
The property, which has been authentically restored down to the last detail, meets all the requirements for producing wine and olive oil of the highest quality. The wines in particular reach a new dimension for the Lucca region!
OUR WINES
Discover our award-winning range. Loto is our elegant red wine, Sereno our typical Tuscan red wine and Gioia our sparkling white wine. A new addition is the rosè wine Luna, which impresses with its fresh aromas.
OUR ORGANIC OLIVE OIL
It has this fine, valuable shimmer of liquid green gold, it has a mild spice with a slight spiciness in the finish, an extremely low fatty acid, it is one of the select few who are allowed to bear the coveted DOP seal "Lucca" - and has already won several prestigious awards: The “Olio di Lucca” from “Villa Santo Stefano”.
Our Philosophy
What philosophy guides the team at “Societa Agricola Villa Santo Stefano”? It is the deep desire to fully exploit what this ancient cultural landscape with its special soils and its special climate offers in terms of potential - for a top-class Olive oil, for top wines. A compliment and also a declaration of love to this unique region: The Lucchesia.
VISIT THE WINERY
Let us guide you in discovering the magic of Villa Santo Stefano, through the cellar and the barrel room, and ultimately to the splendidly elegant lemon house, built with precise historical detail, where you can taste our wines and our DOP (protected origin) olive oil.
