In the early 14th century it passed to the Sozzini family, a prominent Sienese noble lineage, who over five centuries transformed it into a flourishing agricultural estate with villa, chapel, farmhouses, and cellars focused on vines and olives—wine production here was already of notable importance by the mid-19th century, though not yet estate-bottled. The Sozzini held the property until then, after which it changed hands; in the 1990s, Elisabetta Gnudi Angelini and her family (owners of Caparzo and Altesino) acquired and restored it, modernizing the cellars while launching the quality-focused wine program—the first Borgo Scopeto-labeled Chianti Classico arrived with the 1990 vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eVigna Misciano is the estate’s single-vineyard Chianti Classico Riserva from a 360-meter hillside parcel in Castelnuovo Berardenga on sandy, clay-rich soils, planted at high density (~6,000 vines\/ha) to spurred cordon with manual green work and harvest timed for phenolic ripeness.
