  • Oenologist: Leonardo Berti
  • Bottles produced: 98.000
  • Hectares: 28
At Tenuta San Giorgio, there's only Sangiovese – this is its natural home. Yet the grape takes on countless expressions here, shaped by the polychrome soils that nourish the estate’s 28 hectares of southeast-facing vineyards. Ancient Pliocene sediments. Unruly clay. Tuff: light and mineral. Vivid red earth, delicate and crumbling white biancane, and the stark, proud calanchi. Surrounding it all, woodland: 110 hectares of thriving biodiversity that safeguard a landscape forged over millennia.

Of the estate’s 142 hectares, just 28 are under vine, all devoted to Sangiovese – the variety that most deeply expresses this land. The rows are trained using the spurred cordon system and kept to very low yields, to preserve the purity and quality of the fruit. Each vineyard is organically farmed and shaped by the singular microclimate of Monte Amiata, the extinct volcano that rises to 1,738 meters and watches over the landscape. Read more
