Arrigoni Wine Family - Pietraserena

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.
