Description
The name 'Gineprone' refers to the aromatic herb called Juniper. It reveals how this Chianti wine from the hills of Siena reminds the consumer of all the herbs and spices typical of the Mediterranean undergrowth. Complex and full-bodied but also fruity, Gineprone is Montalcino's version of the Chianti wine that has made Tuscany famous worldwide.

The estate's origins date back to the first half of the 17th century when the family of the Sienese noble knights Della Ciaia established a property in the Sant'Angelo in Colle area that became larger and larger year by year. 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.
