Features
Leda Pucci, the matriarch of the Bartali family, had a great influence on the creation of the winery. From a very young age, she worked as a postwoman , delivering letters in rural areas. After marrying Alberto Bartali, her husband joined her in the postal business and they opened their own agency. In addition to letters, they expanded their range of deliveries to include olive oil, wine, onions and potatoes.
