From this winery
In 2011 Carlo Franchetti acquired some land near the town of San Casciano dei Bagni, where he discovered a small vineyard of pinot noir planted by the previous owner. The first vinification in 2012, entirely home made, revealed from the start a wine of great character and potential. In 2013 the Vini Franchetti SRL partnership was formed and the wine making transferred to Tenuta di Trinoro under the supervision of Andrea Franchetti.
Between 2014 and 2016 various different approaches were experimented both in the vineyard and in the winery and it was decided not to release the wines on the market. In 2017 the new high density vineyards planted in 2013 began to produce their first crop and production resumed with a gradual increase in the number of bottles produced from 1200 to 3300, eventually reaching the current 6000 level. In 2021 the original farmhouse and winery undergo restoration and production is planned to return home on the estate at San Casciano under the supervision of Carlo Franchetti with the assistance of oenologist Gianluca Colombo.
In 2022, Petit Sancaba goes into production for the first time, produced with grapes from a young vineyard and second choice Sancaba grapes. In 2024 it is the turn of Sancaba Bianco, produced from Grechetto grapes planted in 2018 and 2019.
The name Sancaba is an acronym invented by Carlo Franchetti as a tribute to the town of San Casciano dei Bagni. Read more

| Wine making | Regarding the protocol, the use of indigenous yeasts and 25% whole clusters was introduced for the first time, as was already the case for the fermentation of the Petit Sancaba second wine. However, unlike Petit, greater extraction was sought through longer pump-overs as well as some punch-downs, so as to give the wine more structure. |
| Aging | in third and fourth-use barriques was reduced to 8 months. These innovations, together with the unusually cool weather conditions of the vintage - ideal for achieving optimal phenolic maturity in pinot noir- and the naturally low yields caused by the mildew outbreak, resulted in a wine of exceptional complexity and aromatic expressiveness. |
