Description
In Renaissance Florence, the word "Spezieri" referred to spice merchants. This wine takes its name from the ancient art of blending as it is a mixture of Sangiovese spiced with another traditional Tuscan grape variety Ciliegiolo, with small quantities of other varieties produced in the Col d'Orcia area. Spezieri is a young, fruity, easy-drinking wine to be consumed with daily meals. Due to its composition, it is very versatile in pairing with food. It is also enjoyable chilled in summer.

In the second half of the 19th century, it passed into the hands of the Servadio family and then the Franceschi family.
In 1973, Count Alberto Marone Cinzano took over the estate, intending to contribute to the development and affirmation of Montalcino and its Brunello on world markets.
