Today, saying Chianti in the world means evoking much more than a wine. This was also made possible thanks to seventeen far-sighted winemakers - "Those of Geografico" - who already in 1961 understood the importance of the extraordinary bond between a wine and its production area.
From here, more than half a century ago, the story of the Geografico started and today continues its journey thanks to the passion for the territory of Piccini family, who bought it to continue its memory.
From those seventeen initial winemakers, today we can count even sixty. All mainly rooted in the territories of Chianti and Chianti Classico, but also of Vernaccia di San Gimignano. Sixty passionate winemakers working every day to enhance a great appellation and its wines, starting with its main grape variety: Sangiovese. Read more
