"Vin Santo Pietraserena" - Vin Santo del Chianti D.o.c.
Before the harvest we use to "go through" the vineyard to identify the best Trebbiano and Malvasia grapes to be destined for drying. These grapes must be very healthy because roof drying lasts until the week before Christmas, the time when we usually carry out the crushing operations. At this point the grapes are in an optimal state of drying and have an incredible concentration of sugars. The resulting must is wonderful, thick, syrupy, almost like honey. It is then put into tiny chestnut and oak barrels in a special attic room; the kegs are capped and sealed with sealing wax and so left for three to four years so that the precious wine can transform and mature. The succession of seasons, the intense cold of winter nights alternating with the scorching sun of summer days and the breeze that blows lightly every day at 340 meters above sea level, shape this nectar that can rightly be called "Holy".

San Gimignano is a hill town in Tuscany located southwest of Florence. Surrounded by 13th-century walls, the focal point of its historic center is Piazza della Cisterna, a triangular square flanked by medieval houses. The skyline of medieval towers is dominated by the stone Torre Grossa. In San Gimignano, Pietraserena extends on both sides of the hill, towards the North-Northeast.

Since 1966, the company's estates have experienced constant territorial expansion, starting from the initial approximately 7 hectares to reach the current extension of about 42 hectares. Being in the heart of the Municipality of San Gimignano, the main grape variety at the beginning was naturally Vernaccia di San Gimignano, the first wine to obtain DOC status in Italy. Subsequently, Sangiovese was planted, the main grape variety of Tuscany and all of Italy, which in our company gives life to our most representative “crus,” Caulio and Poggio al Vento.

Each vineyard, defined and circumscribed, has its distinctive name, from which we draw the grapes that are vinified separately. Once the wine is obtained, various blends are made that have always characterized our bottles.
