Authentic Gigliolino WineryExceptional Selections of La Gigliola Wines & OilThrough the combination of history, tradition and progress, the present owners of the estate, the Piazzini family produces first-class wines that appear in the acclaimed wine guide of Gambero Rosso. The ancient wine growing tradition and the special qualities of the vineyards belonging to the "Fattoria La Gigliola" guarantee the production of a top-class wine. The most popular and widely grown grape of the region and dominant character of Chianti is the Sangiovese grape. Alongside this, there are the Trebiano Malvasia and Chardonnay grapes which are used in the production of Bianco Toscano (Tuscan white wine). An important step for the future was taken by investing into the production of premium wines made from grapes such as Merlot and Syrah. In the course of a private wine-tasting you will be able to find out for yourself the subtle differences between the grape varieties and to learn more about wine production. "Quality based on tradition" is the motto of the Piazzini family: It applies not only to the production of red and white wine but also to its production of excellent grappas and an outstanding extra virgin olive oil. After selected olives have been carefully sorted by hand, they are pressed in the traditional method, bottled and then sent to countless customers at home and abroad. Nestled in the hills of Italy's Chianti region, La Gigliola Winery extends over approximately 300 hectares, 60 of which are covered with vineyards an 40 of which consist of olives groves. We mainly grow Sangiovese grapes, but we also cultivate other varieties such as Canaiolo, Merlot, Cabernet, Syrah, from which we make exquisite red wines. For white wine, we grow Trebbiano, Malvasia and Chardonay grapes. View Our Selection Of Exceptional Winery & Oil From The List To Your Left. |
